Custom example from the 'examples': | <custom name="print dots" | class="org.jbpm.examples.custom.PrintDots" | g="96,16,100,52"> | | <transition to="end" /> | </custom> | Needs a class. That has to be in the classpath from somewhere, so having this just as a xml file is (imo) impossible, you need the class somewhere for unittests and it needs to go in the .bar (jar currently) or whatever. So you need it *anyway* and why not combine the two and have it one class. But keep in mind, ONLY for this specific custom example which would satisfy lots of users and a pom.xml could/should be used for resolving the runtime dependencies or do I miss something? Regarding the 'issues' about moving workspaces etc, you are right, but just like Jan mentions, I also think that not having a bloated (excusez le mot) pallet if there are to many 'nodes' on a high level in the GPD. And it does not mean the more specific realy new nodes (elements) should be impossible, au contraire... View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4254580#...
