Well actually that one is tailored on oryx structure that seems to be different respect to the activiti modeler.
The folder examples doesn't exist. File with extension .xhtml are not present in the activiti under the folder editor.
did i miss something?
does someone have a link to a tutorial for activiti?

I'm stuck and i don't understand how the editor works (it seems to be different respect to the oryx one).
i've created a folder under data/../stencilsets/extensions which contains the png, svg and a json file describing my palette (basically i added an object under stencils section extending the bpmn1.1).

Now, for what i understood, i should put somewhere in the configuration that there's a new palette. i tried to modify the file extensions.json and stencilset.json under data, but these two file are created by a compiler (don't know exactly who does what).

how can i specify the new palette? what did i miss?

Hi,

The Oryx project is the foundation for the Activiti Modeler or Signavio core components project –> http://code.google.com/p/signavio-core-components.
So there isn't too much difference between Oryx and the Activiti Modeler. If you run into problems, best raise an issue there.

Best regards,
