Eclipse designer removes important attributes
When saving a file, the Eclipse designer removes the following attributes from serviceTask nodes:
flowable:async="true" flowable:exclusive="false" flowable:class="MyClass"
The most important one being class. Then, when I run my project, it blows up with something like:
org.flowable.engine.common.api.FlowableException: Errors while parsing:
[Validation set: 'flowable-executable-process' | Problem: 'flowable-servicetask-missing-implementation'] : One of the attributes 'class', 'delegateExpression', 'type', 'operation', or 'expression' is mandatory on serviceTask. - [Extra info : processDefinitionId = myProcessDefinition | processDefinitionName = MyProcessDefinition | | id = test | | activityName = Test | ] ( line: 7, column: 5)

The same applies for flowable:inheritBusinessKey="true" in callActivity <callActivity ... activiti:inheritBusinessKey="true"> is accepted but lost upon save <callActivity ... flowable:inheritBusinessKey="true"> breaks the designer and the diagram is not shown
Just came across this problem. It effectively makes the Eclipse designer useless. No commits since 2016, yet it's mentioned prominently in the docs. If it's legacy then should be removed.
We'd love a contribution to fix this - unfortunately, the core team doesn't have time to do it all :)
What is the best way to get my environment set up in Eclipse? I'd love to work on this, as well as an IntelliJ plugin :). I don't have any experience writing Eclipse plugins, but downloading and opening the project in Eclipse, I'm getting some missing resources trying to build it, so before I troubleshoot, I thought I would ask if you might have any suggestions to give me a jump start.
