Hi,

thanks for the info. I found one important detail which makes a difference.

The guide only talks about "check out" and "import existing projects" but there are at least two
different ways in Eclipse to do this.

You can "Checkout project with SVN" and you can "Maven|Checkout existing Maven project from SCM". The later one is only
available with the M2Eclipse plugin installed. The M2Eclipse plugin will also detect sub-projects
and automatically configure new projects and WTP support so there is no need for an additional "import step".

As far as I have tried the "M2Eclipse way" currently does not work very well with the current state of Activiti.
There are some known problems with M2Eclipse and the WTP integration but on the other hand there exist
project which checkout with M2Eclipse without any problems. So I can not tell who is to blame for
the problems with the Activiti/M2Eclipse combination.

I had a better experience with "standard" SVN project checkout and "standard" "project import".
But also following this route gives some minor problems but much less then the former way of doing it.

Following the commits on the project there is a lot of activity in activiti 😉
A lot of stuff is currently moving. For example JDK 5 or 6 usage/support is currently inconsistent
(pom.xml says compiler 1.5/1.5 but code uses @Overrides for interfaces).

Maybe these infos can
