Hi Jogrey,

I understand your frustration. There is indeed a gap between 
BPM/workflow engines, that are technical solutions, and a complete 
high-level BPM solution with a set of useful connector, etc... Be sure 
of one thing: a lot of work is currently being done in that sense,

I think that with the last version of Bonita (with eXo console) you have 
the ability to map custom forms to task, using XForm. However I don't 
know whether it fits to your need.

Unfortunately, JWT project has not currently focused on what I'd call 
the "presentation" topic yet, but I agree with you that the 
"presentation" could have its place into JWT.
Having a presentation topic would be a first stop to making JWT become a 
 "BPM solution Studio". That sounds nice ;)

However, in its current state, I can't figure how JWT may help you. 
Maybe AgilPro contains pieces of answers...

Let's wait for Florian passing by the newsgroup, his knowledge of 
AgilPro will probably be useful ;)

Regards,
Mickael
