Take a look at Joram's Kickstart code here: https://github.com/jbarrez/Activiti-KickStart, this contains some bpmn20.xml generation, a good point to start from.

Take the JAXB-model from kickstart and adapt it so it can output bpmn2.0.xml, based on what you want. However, you're not limited to JAXB, you can use any kind of xml-library. BPMN is just XML and as you know there are tons op options for spitting out XML rom java.

Nope, you didn't miss anything. Kickstart (currently) does no more than the behavior you described.
