custom palette

[hamepal]

Hi,
   I am trying to build one custom palette by following the userguide. When I give the command

mvn eclipse:eclipse‍

it gives me the following output

E:\CA\software\jbpm-installer\workspace\CustomPalette>mvn eclipse:eclipse

It seems the pom.xml present at projects\designer\trunk\examples\money-tasks is not updated according to the latest Activiti release version. Earlier the pom.xml was looking for 5.5 version and giving the same output, after changing t0 5.6 doesn't help me in removing the dependencies. I am not  able to remove the Path dependencies:
        1) org.acme:money-tasks:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
        2) org.activiti.designerrg.activiti.designer.integration:jar:5.6
Can any one tell me how to remove these path dependencies and how to get these jar files?

Any kind of help is highly appreciated. 


PS: when I run this command

mvn -ver‍

the following output is given by the maven.

E:\CA\software\jbpm-installer\workspace\CustomPalette>mvn -ver

@Ronal,
  Can you please tell me how to do it, otherwise provide me any pointer for it.

Hi,

Just add this to the pom:

<repositories>
  <repository>
   <id>alfresco</id>
   <url>http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Best regards,

[hamepal]

@trademak
Thanks for the solution, but when I included your line I got this following error.
Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for org.acme:money-tasks:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin is missing. @ line 42, column 12

then I modified the maven-compiler-plugin a little bit.

          <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>

     <target>1.5</target>
     <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>
     <showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
     <optimize>true</optimize>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
then I got this output

Please confirm it is working now?

Thanks…

how should we know? the build is successful, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating… try it and you know it

[hamepal]

I guess build was through. But now a new problem has come I am not able to see the Palette in my designer-view even though I can see my Jar file under Activiti Designer Extensions.
  I have attached my project folder with this post. This project the same as money-task present at projects\designer\trunk\examples\.

I followed this discussion thread. But couldn't get anything which can resolve my issue. I am able to see the icon in the jar package. But somehow I am not able to see the Palette in the Acitiviti designer view.

[tiesebarrell]

Have you looked in the .log file in the workspace for the Eclipse installation you've installed the extension to? There's probably a problem with the extension.

Also, did you re-open diagrams to check whether the new node is in the palette?

[hamepal]

@tiesebarrell

workspace file looks good  to me.

I had started eclipse and reponed the activity diagram many times but didn't see any new palette.

Don't know exactly where I am going wrong

[tiesebarrell]

is the file you attached the completed extension? I'll give it a test run to see if I can figure it out this weekend.

[trademak]

Hi,

I've tested the extension you posted and it works fine in my workspace.
I added the JAR to the Actviti designer extension classpath variable and reopened the process diagram.
The moneytask node was added to the palette at the bottom.

Best regards,

[hamepal]

@trademak
Thanks for testing my jar file on ur system.
  But still I am not able to see palette in Activiti designer. I have attached the screen-shots.

Please let me know about your eclipse version if you don't mind can you also post the procedure of adding the jar file in eclipse environment. So that I can check where I am going wrong.


Thanks in advance..
