Errors in .kickform files

[mwelter]

Good morning all,

I have a development environment in Eclipse IDE for java developers (Luna) and I have imported the latest update of Eclipse designer from http://activiti.org/designer/update/.  I am running this on a Windows 7, 64 bit laptop.

I am able to create Kickstart projects & forms, but I have noticed that when I save my kickstart form there is a problem with dropdown lists & date fields.  After I save the form all & close it, I find that when I open the form again, the values from the dropdown field have been stripped out.  I have also noticed that the date fields default with the time showing.  When I untick the "show time" button, save & close the form on re-opening it, the default of "show time" is selected again.

Can anyone explain why this would be so and how I can fix this please.

thanks.

The kickstart part of the plugin hasnt got a lot of attention lately, and i guess it has indeed bugs like that.
Its currently not on our roadmap to enhance kickstart in eclipse (the focus is on the web part) … Of course always welcome to take a look at it and throw is a pull request
