BPMN file import from the web-based to eclipse-based

Firstly I have installed the eclipse 3.6.1 and the activiti plugin. If I build the process using eclipse-based modeler, no problem.
When I use the activiti-explorer to build a process, then import into eclipse, if the prequisite is BPMN (activiti), then the *.bpmn20.xml file can be imported successfully. However if I use the BPMN (complete) to build a *.bpmn20.xml, there are always some errors when I try to import into eclipse.
———————–
Could not open the editor: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.UnresolvedReferenceException: Unresolved reference 'flow1'. (platform:/resource/demo1/src/main/resources/diagrams/yaoqiang_bpmn.activiti, 58, 69)
———————–
By the way, I watch the activiti video from youtube, "Screencast: BPMN 2.0 import in the Activiti Designer". Then I tried again, using the Yaoqiang BPMN editor to build a process, then import into eclipse, same error occurs. This causes me very headache.

Anyway my questions:
1. Except the eclipse 3.6.1 and acitviti plugin, any other configurations need to be setted in order to use *.bpmn files by import function?
2. suppose the signavio modeler, I exported a *.bpmn.xml file. After that I hope to import this file into eclipse. same error occurs

Hi,

You are probably using untyped tasks in ypur BPMN process. So tasks for which you didn't specify it to be a service task or user task etc.
I've just committed a fix in the Designer import which now supports untyped tasks and converts them to service tasks.
So if you build the trunk source code it should work. Or wait until the next release.

Best regards,

yeah, i have found that probably due to the untyped task

thanks
