There are service tasks communicating with external systems in my JBPM process definitions. I defined those service tasks by editing directly .bpmn files, using <task> elements



<task name="CallingExternalTask">
   <!-- Define actions here -->
   <iospecification>
       <!-- Define input/output bindings here --->
   </iospecification>
</task>



Now, i want to inherit the power of drag-n-drop feature in JBPM visual editors. What i have to do to have my CallingExternalTask appeared in 'Service Tasks' panel of JBPM editor in Eclipse?

I guess TODO work cosists of building a 'template' file from my own .bpmn files and put them in appropriated configuration directory :) but don't know how to do so in detail yet

I managed to add custom service tasks with the web-based editor (which is far more powerful than IDE-based ones), no need to spend time on extending palette in Eclipse anymore :)

Having checked the time of last commit for Eclipse-based JBPM editor, i saw that JBPM is dropping IDE-based editor :|

I found solution here :)

http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.4/userguide/ch.domain-specific-processes.html http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.4/userguide/ch.domain-specific-processes.html

One more intuitive way and less error-prone to define work items (JBPM term for what i was trying to create in this discussion) is to use the web-based designer. I could create new work items without handling configuration files under META-INF (designer tool does this for us) :)
