Eclipse Activiti Designer and Shell tasks

[aoliver]

How can i create a Service Task of type=shell in the Eclipse Activiti Designer?

[jbarrez]

Shell execution is not yet part of the out-of-the-box activities

[aoliver]

Do you have an idea if/when it will?

Does Activiti Modeler support a service task with type=shell?

[jbarrez]

There is a Jira that describes implementing a shell task, but nothing planned yet.
The Modeler does not support it, as it is not in BPMN 2.0.

But you are always welcome to contribute 😉

I once made a start to at least get something running well outside activiti. It is attached here

For probable future readers. Shell task is implemented as mentioned in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-461
