I have a strange problem with my BPMN extension based on the customTask example.
So far everything works. I use the method createBindings() to test if my taskConfig element already exists:

...
List<TaskConfig> allTaskConfigs = ModelDecorator
				.getAllExtensionAttributeValues(myTask, TaskConfig.class);
		if (allTaskConfigs.size() == 0) {


...if not I create a new one and initialize also some parameters :

	Parameter param = ModelFactory.eINSTANCE.createParameter();
		param.setName("somename");
		param.setValue("");
		taskConfig.getParameters().add(param);


Now I can bind a widget with the following code:

		bindAttribute(this.getAttributesParent(),param, "value", "Summary");


So fare all is fine. The problem is, that if I try to open an older bpmn file which was created before I added a new parameter into my plugin I need to add the missing new parameter.
But if I try to add the parameter in the createBindings() method I got the following Error:

I think I figured out how to solve this situation. The trick is to embedd the code into a EMF transactional editing domain:

TransactionalEditingDomain domain = TransactionUtil.getEditingDomain(be);
		domain.getCommandStack().execute(new RecordingCommand(domain) {
		public void doExecute() {
                 ....
 	       }
        }
  );


I added also some information about this into my blog: http://ralph.soika.com/extending-eclipse-bpmn2-plugin-part-iii/
