damn html parser =) I made a small readme for myselfe, maybe it is useful for anybody: the created node is Install the Plugin Modify plugin.xml add add add add add <!-- The property xmlElement="textoutput" stands for the node in the generated xml-processdefinition file --> add create the following classes and add them to "ui.jar" in the pluginfolder (extract the jar, add the .class files in the right directory, zip it back into a jar file) -make a adapted version of "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\xml\EsbNodeMapper.java" for my node -make a adapted version of "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\model\EsbNode.java" for my node <-- the fuction "createAction()" is called when the node is inserted, here custom actions can be added for example -make a adapted version of "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\properties\EsbGeneralConfigurationComposite.java" -make a adapted version of "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\properties\EsbConfigurationComposite.java -make a adapted version of "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\properties\EsbInputOutputConfigurationComposite.java -make a adapted version of "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\properties\EsbNodeSection.java to "designer\jpdl\org.jbpm.gd.jpdl\src\org\jbpm\gd\jpdl\xml\ProcessDefinitionDomAdapter.java" add line as NODE_TYPES.put("textoutput", "node-element"); and } else if ("textoutput".equals(type)) { processDefinition.addNodeElement((AbstractNode)jpdlElement); Delete C:\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.mainData.* because it contains a copy of "plugin.xml" View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4192743#...
