Building the Activiti Designer from trunk

I'm trying to build the Activiti Designer eclipse plugin from trunk, following the instructions at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Activiti+Designer+Developer+Guide.I'm guessing that these instructions are not quite up-to-date with the latest changes on trunk. In particular, the file "BPMN20.ge

The BPMN20.genmodel should be generated from the pbmn2.ecore model (e.g., see http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseEMF/article.html). Sadly, this results in the following errors:

The feature 'eClassifier' of 'null' contains an unresolved proxy 'org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@47ed052c{http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI-XMI#//BPMNDiagram}' bpmn2.ecore /org.activiti.designer.model/src/main/resources/org/eclipse/bpmn2/impl Unknown EMF Problem

This seems to be a showstopper for building the Activiti Designer (at least 5.9.0) from source.

Here is the solution. It costed me one day:
The activiti guideline is not update.
This worked for me :

1. Eclipse version Indigo, instead of Helios (I tested it with 3.7.2 version of Eclipse)
2. Graphithi version 9 should be installed (I tested with 0.9.0 version of Graphiti)
3. Graphiti update site seems to be changed. It should be http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.9.0 instead of http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.8.0.

4. the sections about BPMN20.genmodel and BPMN20.ecore and generation should be removed
