Get processDefinition tasks , start event, end event using Java, without creating a process instance

[mansi]

Hi,
My requirement is to get the details about deployed processDefinition, like Tasks in it, its StartEvent, EndEvent.
But I want to have these without creating a process instance.
Is there a way to achieve this?
I have been looking into activiti user guide as well as javadocs, but couldn't find a way.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

No. We don't see that much use of Netbeans in our community/customers.
