Take a look in the codebase at org.activiti.explorer.form.UserFormType on how easy it is to add a custom form-type in activity explorer…
Also look into org.activiti.explorer.ui.form.UserFormPropertyRenderer, this class is responsible for rendering the actual control.

I was looking the code and you are right, at least at glance seems easy to extend and the interfaces are clear.
Thanks again.

burn83: I have no examples because finally I decided use Activiti embbebed in our webapp, but looking the classes which Frederik says you can find the way to extend a form with others components. Those classes are part of Activiti Explorer code, where Vaadin framework is used for GUI.
