Hi Miljenko,

1. is it possible to define my own service repository, beside the standard one? For example, I have to create my own private service tasks with a business logic embedded into it, or custom service tasks that call an external (private) web service. It would be nice to have some sort of service repository agent where one can define set of URLs that point to custom service repositories

The location of the repository is configurable via $designer.war/profiles/jbpm.xml, there you will see on the bottom:

<servicerepository location=" http://people.redhat.com/kverlaen/repository http://people.redhat.com/kverlaen/repository"/>

As long as your repository has the same structure for assets as the jBPM one currently things should work fine. If your repository has a different structure, then having pluggable "repository handlers" would be nice to have, but there aren't any now. Would be a nice Jira if you want to raise one.

2. where do you run service repository? Can we use JCR to store service definitions, or it is meant to be used from your site only?

The jBPM service repository currently lives in  http://people.redhat.com/kverlaen/repository http://people.redhat.com/kverlaen/repository. This is how Kris configured it. Remember this is all pretty new stuff, so your imputs are very valuable to have. I think again raising a Jira is the best way to get your good ideas implemented for the next releases. 

3. what about custom editors for service processes? I know that task variables are shown on the properties palette (on the right side of Designer), however, is there an option to create my own custom editor? I have seen on this forum questions about custom editors but they are meant to be used as an extension to Eclipse plugin.

Right now we don't have that ability as really the input/output parameters of the task translate into input/output data associations of the Task node. 
This would be a nice things for the community to contribute  ;)  

Thanks!
