Hi all,
  I tried to use Timer start event in a very basic work flow. But I get error while deploying it using activiti-probe. I have followed the same syntax as given in the user-guide.

Failed to parse cron expression: R4/2011-07-01T11:55/PT01M‍

My bpmn file is as following.

The spec says this is valid (from what I read), the activiti docs mentiones this format, but I do not see a unit test for it. So it might just be a bug… You could try adding seconds ':00' to it to see if that helps
