Before posting in the forum, look in the user guide first:

A description is defined by adding the documentation element.<br><br><userTask id="theTask" name="Schedule meeting" ><br>&nbsp; <documentation><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Schedule an engineering meeting for next week with the new hire.<br>&nbsp; </documentation><br>The description text can be retrieved from the task in the standard Java way:<br><br>task.getDescription()<br>
