3)previously i just built this file and got a jar..but i know untill imention something in the </dependencies> tag which i have left blank for time being i wont be able to do any thing….

I want u to tell me what is the java file which i need to write and how to mention it in dependencies tag in my pom.xml to create a new palette.

DEV,

you don't need anything in the dependencies tag besides what you have already. The class you write is IN this library, so you're not dependent on another. Just implement a POJO and annotate some members as described in the userguide. That's the kind of class you need to write.

[dev1]

hi,
so you are asking me to add this jar file to the activiti project as mentioned in the user guide and impliment a class with the name "AcmeMoneyTask" as mentioned in the user guide……

till here i have done it earlier but the problem was, in that pojo file i was getting stuck with some dependencies. I am forwarding you the snapshot…

Now,
After I created plugin.xml and ran  mvn eclipse:eclipse. It has created src/main/java and src/main/resources folders.

1. Once you've created your extension JAR (for instance, by performing a mvn install in your project to build it with Maven), you need to transfer the extension to the computer where Activiti Designer is installed;

For the above step , I ran mvn install and faced below error.

ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.3.1:jar (default-jar) on project money-tasks: Error assembling JAR: Failed to read filesystem attributes for: /etrade/home/rravindr/Actnew_0.6/com.etrade.designer.custom.palette/pom.xml: Failed to retrieve numeric file attributes using: '/bin/sh -c ls -1nlad /etrade/home/rravindr/Actnew_0.6/com.etrade.designer.custom.palette/pom.xml': Error while executing process.
