Hi,I have a simple process with a wait node. If i open it with the ActivitiBMPN2Editor a ".activiti"-file is generated. If I open this with the org.activiti.designer.editor.multiPageEditor an exception is thown. This is extremly annoying. Why the editor cannot give me a chance to correct it?Addition

It means that there is an element in the xml file which isn't part of the Activiti Designer Palette. You can correct it by using the Ecplise Import option instead of the "Import BPMN 2.0 XML file" option.
Eclipse will then import it as an xml file and won't try to convert it to a diagram, you will than have the chance to correct the 'mistake' by changing the object to a user Task for example.

Would also be good to know what version of the Designer you are using. The IntermediateCatchEvent was added to the Palette with the 5.8 release.

Hi,

I've committed a bug fix to trunk for this.
On the Activiti wiki you can find details about how to create an Activiti Designer version based on trunk.

Best regards,
