Activiti Designer Palette Problem on Eclipse

[anu86]

Hi,

I have extended the default palette with some custom Service Tasks as described in Activiti documentation on 12.5.1. Customizing the palette. (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/)

I tried the money-tasks example and was able to build the jar file and Money node is displayed without any issue at the palette. But when I drag and drop the Money Node Eclipse gives the following error.

GFCommandStack.execute(Command) java.lang.NullPointerException: entry
The stack trace at eclipse error log is as follows.

I tried with Eclipse Mars , Kepler and Juno versions and all gives the same error. Any Suggetion on how to resolve this is highly appreciated as I'm stuck with this error for two days.

Hello Sir,

Also I'm facing the same problem even the image not viewed after overriding the method

   @Override
   public String getSmallIconPath() {
     return "coins.png";
   }

the new shape is presented and when dragging it to palette it gives an error

"GFCommandStack.execute(Command) java.lang.NullPointerException: entry"

Is it bug or i've make something wrong ????


thank you.

If your eclipse designer plugin version is 5.18. It may not work I had the same issue. I think some issues in 5.18 then,

I installed eclipse designer version 5.15 through offline. It's working fine for me.
