    Hi Max,

    This is Yang. Thanks for implementing Jenkow which is very powerful tool for workflow design!

    I'm trying to use the Jenkow plugin but encountered several issues while following your video tutorial for the setup, and wondering if you can throw me some lights on it.

    1) I used Eclipse BPMN plugin and the Jenkow feature for the workflow design as you described in the video, however I got following exceptions when kicking off the workflow invoker job:

    Failed to update workspace: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: One of the attributes 'class', 'delegateExpression', 'type', 'operation', or 'expression' is mandatory on serviceTask. | /home/yangli8/.jenkins/jenkow-repository/jenkow-workflows/src/main/resources/diagrams/test_wf1.bpmn20.xml | line 14 | column 134

    --> To make it work, I need to manually update the .bpmn code <serviceTask id="servicetask1" name="Mvn test" activiti:externalID="com.cisco.step.jenkins.plugins.jenkow.designer.JenkinsTask"> to activiti:class="com.cisco.step.jenkins.plugins.jenkow.designer.JenkinsTask". I found one of the reported issue mentioned about the same exception: http://forums.activiti.org/content/servicetask-discrepancy-designer-modeler

    2) With the above fix, I am able to kick off the invoker job, but again this time I got the following error:

    FATAL: couldn't instantiate class com.cisco.step.jenkins.plugins.jenkow.designer.JenkinsTask
    org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: couldn't instantiate class com.cisco.step.jenkins.plugins.jenkow.designer.JenkinsTask

    Above two issues seems to be related to some module discrepancy between versions. Could you please help me understand how to proceed?

    3) Is there any support for passing parameters into the Jenkow workflow? I looked into the properties values but couldn't find a place to pass such values.

    Thanks much for your help in advance!
