Hello,

Alfresco 4.2.0 does not integrate the <a href="http://geom-java.sourceforge.net">JavaGeom library</a> which Activiti depends on internally (apparently). Since Alfresco integrates a lot of open source libraries that have a bunch of (transitive / optional) dependencies, they take efforts to cut out libraries that they have analyzed not to be relevant to the features they intend to be exposed to / used by end-users. Once in a while - especially when major versions are released - there may be some corner cases that have been missed.
In case you are doing the test / trial in cooperation with an Alfresco partner or are in contact with a local Alfresco sales person, I would ask them to file this issue for Alfresco support via the appropriate channel.

Regards
Axel

Hello,

I have no local contact with Alfresco partner. We try to contact them with no luck.
