Hi,
I'm not using Eclipse Modeler. I need to create BAR files though. I've seen a post at this link:

http://forums.activiti.org/content/how-create-bar-file-programmatically-activiti-59

Here trademak says:

A BAR file is just a ZIP file containing the process definition file and optionally some other files.
So just create a ZIP file with these files and you're fine.

Best regards,

Does that mean creating a zip file using some arbitrary program gives the same result? I've created a zip file, changed extension from zip to bar. But It yields an error with a code like that:

ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(uploadReceiver.getBuffer().toByteArray());
ZipInputStream zipInputStream = new ZipInputStream(inputStream);
repositoryService.createDeployment().name(fileName).addZipInputStream(zipInputStream).deploy();
‍‍‍‍‍

Exception is:

Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: problem reading zip input stream

Thanks.

It should … but is your file create with UTF8 encoding in mind? (see error)
