Manual Creation of Business Process Definition

[pneudecorb]

I am new to Activiti and have a business requirement to be able to manually create business process flows/definitions programmatically in Java.

Does Activiti have a Java API that supports not only the building of the process definition, but also, the generation of the xml format?

The flows we create at runtime are not going to be super complicated, but our users will be creating them through a simple gui.

I saw this post already and although it suggest a few possibilities it doesn't indicate which approach provides the ability to support Activiti's extensions.  I would imagine that the modeler and eclipse designer would need some form of an API to transpose the graphical representation into the xml format.
What do these toolings use?

afaik, lots of eclipse specific packages are used there.

doing it the way the bpmnparselistener is doing it is another option i think.
