Create custom tasks generically [message #1016448]

Hello!
I've seen the video screencast on how to create a custom task which can then be used when modelling a process.

My question now is, if it is possible to create such tasks generically (via code loops) during runtime, e.g. on startup?
What I want is, when starting the editor to read e.g. a configuration file and then add custom tasks with a specific behavior to the Palette according to this configuration file.

Is this basically possible with the current version of the editor?
And what would you recommend for me as starting point (as a beginner).

Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Da

Hi Dan,

This is exactly what the jbpm plugin does! Take a look at the JBPM5RuntimeExtension class and how it uses the org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.runtime.jboss.jbpm5.wid package to create custom tasks on-the-fly whenever the editor is started.

Let me know if you need help!

Bob
