Error during deploy of a bpmn20.xml process file

Hi!First of all, the setup I am using is Activiti 5.8 and Eclipse Helios with the Activiti Designer 5.8.0 on JDK 1.6.After I had successfully tested the 10-minute-tutorial on using the process engine and deploying processes, I tried to use the demo setup for my own example process.I should mention,

I have never seen this. Are you sure in the designer the usertasks are all 'valid'? Meaning no markers/problems in eclipse on them (e.g. a forgotten assignee)

Hey,

what exactly have you never seen? The error message or the way my example bpmn20.xml file looks like?
And the process is without any problems or markers.
I have a couple of custom export tools working fine on this example, e.g. exporting to a XACML-Policy, so the tasks have to be valid.

Kind Regards,
Matthias

After some testing of my own I found what is causing this trouble.
My custom flows and flow nodes cannot be parsed and because they are connected to standard activiti usertasks these usertasks are left out in the bpmn20.xml file for some reason.

If I delete the custom flows / flow nodes from my example diagram the bpmn20.xml export works just fine and creates the <usertask> labels which are missing in my version WITH the custom objects.

So my solution would be to tell the bpmn20 export marshaller to ignore my custom objects, because they are not needed for the activiti process but by another server.
If you could give me a hint or a little push on how to do this, or if you have a more proper solution/idea please tell me!

Kind Regards,
Matthias
