It's best to ask these kind of questions in the Activiti Modeler project user forum.

Best regards,

So it seems as though editing the extension.json files and creating my own json file for my "shapes" seems to work some of the time. It's almost like I'm running into a caching issue with the Modeler; I'm having a hard time getting it to pickup my changes. I've searched everywhere I can think but can't seem to find a cache of any sort if it exists. Does anyone know if there is a cache for the Modeler and where I might find one?

I just wanted to reply back in case someone else has this problem. My above described method of adding a repository and then my shapes does seem to work. The issue I was encountering was indeed caching. After searching most of my machine for a Modeler cache, I remembered how bad Firefox can be about caching. Sure enough, I went into Firefox and clear my cache and my issue was resolve. Firefox was indeed caching the extensions.json and my json file describing my shapes, attributes, etc.
