I would like to add new task items to the stencil. I have looked at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Extending+Modeler+with+new+task+type and although it is a workable solution it does not seem to be a sustainable solution. Is there any plans to make adding domain specific task items simpler?
Before looking at activiti, I looked at jbpm and the way it approach the issue was to use a wid file which is just a json file but it describe the task to be added rather than a monolithic stencilset.json. The wid file is referenced in a plugin file for the system to load. Overall I find activiti to be much easier to have up and running. Thank you for all the wonderful work.
Thanks for the nice words. But unfortunately, the modeler is a bit 'understaffed' because it is no real priority. As such, we focus more on engine work and rest api at the moment.
