Hello,i just wanted to add a custom shape to the palette but it doesn´t work. I created a class that extends 'AbstractCustomServiceTask', build the jar an added it to the Library 'Activity Designer Extensions' that i have created before. After that i closed all diagramms, opened one, but no new shap

The easiest way to figure out why it doesn't show up is to debug the code that assembles the palette. This code, in the current version, is in org.activiti.designer.util.extension.ExtensionUtil.getCustomServiceTaskContexts(IProject). A collection of extensions is retrieved from Eclipse's registry. If your task is not in there, there's something wrong with the registration in Eclipse. If it's in there, but still doesn't show up, subsequent handling should tell you what's wrong with the actual classes (or maybe none are found due to incorrect annotations).

I found the ExtensionUtil.class in the plugins .jar, but it isn´t possible to debug / look into the code because I have no sources!?

The source code is available in the Activiti SVN repository, so why don't you get it from there?

Best regards,

Cause I didn´t know Now I have it.

Now the Money-task example works. Problem was that the plugin requires the full path (C:\…\money-task.jar). Because of this the .jar hast to be stored out of the Eclipse-Projects, otherwise Eclipse takes the internal path to the .jar in the User Library (Activiti Designer Extensions).

Thanks for your help,
Pascal
