Own PropertyType

Hello again,now that I can finally play around with my own task definitions, I have a question about the property types. I searched in the forum but could only find something for the Activiti Explorer on that part.Is it possible to provide an own property type? Since it is all triggered by the Prope

No, you can't use anything other than the predefined types. The reason for that is simply that Designer needs to have code for any type to render the UI for the property and handle model updates. However, we could add a type for selecting a resource and / or class if that's what you require.

Just curious though, what are you trying to achieve? The classname will only be stored as a string, so it won't do anything.

There's no interference with Explorer. These extensions are Designer only.

As I've said, I don't want it to be readable in the Explorer or wherever. I would only need it in the Designer and there only inside of a PlugIn.
The thing is, I'm trying to develop a PlugIn with which I can model BPMN processes in the Activiti Editor and then transform them to a different semantic in a PlugIn with attached source code on some elements. But it's not very important right now. So skip that for now.

OK, so do you still have an open question at the moment?

Yes, I have. See http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6339. Don't want to spam one thread with questions unrelated to the topic.
