[Gregg Freeman (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2166?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12509287#action_12509287 ] 

Gregg Freeman commented on JBPM-2166:
-------------------------------------

Sure someone can add their own binding, but at this point, it breaks the graphical editor (at this time).

The problem with the custom node is that there is zero thought for reuse of out-of-the box functionality.  If I want to override existing task functionality, the only way to do it using the "approved" API is to completely rewrite/re-implement the existing Task behavior.

One can easily do this by inheritance / delegation in custom code, and you get the same capability with an interceptor model as well.   Seems like an easy way to add a _bunch_ more flexibility if people need it.
