I ran into the error

org.camunda.bpm.engine.ParseException: ENGINE-09005 Could not parse BPMN process. Errors: 
One of the attributes 'class', 'delegateExpression', 'type', or 'expression' is mandatory on serviceTask.

although the connector plugins seemed to have been loaded correctly:

I found out that the problem is that camunda-engine-plugin-connect is not included in Camunda Platform Run although the documentation says:

When using a pre-built distribution of Camunda Platform, the plugin is already pre-configured.

Is the documentation simply incorrect or outdated or is the plugin accidentally missing in the Camunda Platform Run distribution?

I am using Camunda Platform Run 7.15.0.

Hi @julrich_bee360
Thanks for letting us know about this… I’ll look into why we don’t include this lib and what we can do about including it in the future.

This jar file is missing in the pre-configured distribution and makes the example fail.
I have added camunda-engine-plugin-connect-7.15.0.jar from the tomcat distribution and the example works fine.
Will it be included in the future pre-configured distributions ?
