Hi OpenKM Team,

I'm currently testing the workflow feature on my OpenKM instance, but I'm facing an issue where no process appears in the "Start Workflow" dropdown after deployment.

🖥️ My environment:
  • OpenKM Version: 6.3.13-DEV (build: 058e5bf)
  • I’m using Eclipse to deploy the process (.jpdl.xml, .gpd.xml, and .jpg)
  • Deployment is reported as successful in the Eclipse plugin
  • The process image is visible under the Workflow > Process Definition tab
  • However, when I go to a document and click “Start Workflow”, the dropdown is empty
🔍 What I’ve tried:
  • Verified that task-node1 exists in the .jpdl.xml
  • Restarted Tomcat / OpenKM
  • Cleared browser cache
  • Verified user has sufficient permission
Deployment log shows:
Process definition '2' has no forms.xml file

I noticed that the official tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ugBYf5ggu8) doesn't mention needing a forms.xml, but the logs seem to require it.
