Yes, see http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#eclipseDesignerExtending

The Modeler is also possible, but this is not documented.

So how to achieve, customizing the palette items in modeler.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've tried adding activiti palette customization as per the user guide (ACME-money examle), but I'm unable to see new palette item.

Steps I've done :
1. changed pom.xml as suggested in user guide
2. done mvn clean install and copied the jar to other location.
3. added the jar to activiti designer.

Error Message :
"There was an error when processing an extension to activiti designer. The extension at location …….. is not open. Please make sure it is not installed inside the eclipse workspace "



Where did I go wrong ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi

I've downloaded the money task source code - compiled and compressed it to a jar file.

For getting the money-task palette item in modeler, where should I copy this jar file ?
From where will the palette items are loaded and displayed in modeler ?

Thanks in advance.

modeler = javascript
designer = eclipse and thus java.

a jar is not going to work on the modeler, being html and javascript

I have the exact same problem. The activiti palette customization worked regularly, when suddenly I get the error from Eclipse:

"There was an error when processing an extension to activiti designer. The extension at location …….. is not open. Please make sure it is not installed inside the eclipse workspace "

Obviously, the jar is not in the workspace, but in a different directory.

I use:
- MacBook Pro Retina 2013
- OS X Versione 10.9 (Maverik)
- Eclipse Java EE IDE Version: Kepler Service Release 1
- Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)

May depend on what? What can I do?

Yep, same here, I can confirm this bug. It used to work a while ago, but now all I'm getting is this (obviously wrong) error message. It doesn't even work with the money-task example anymore. Tried to unload activiti-related plugins in the target platform, but this does not solve anything either.
Any ideas for a workaround?

Thanks for reporting this, it should be fixed on the Github master now.
Are you able to test it from there or do you need an eclipse update site?

Thanks,
