I figured out the reason why the ftl file was not getting loaded. I was under the impression that RepositoryService would load the task form resources on its own when it encounters them in the process definition. But the fact is that every resource has to be explicitly loaded using the NewDeployment#addResourceFromClassPath() method. My mistake. Sorry for that question.
