title	Pre-requisites

To add a REST task, you need to add a Java task in place within the BPMN process where you need to do the invocation. Therefore, you have to first create a BPMN process.
This guide demonstrates adding a REST task using the Eclipse BPMN Designer. Use the update site, to add this plugin to your eclipse if you have not already done so. You can do the same in any other editor by adding the same property values.

Add a “Service task” from Create a BPMN process and a BPMN diagram. For instructions, see Creating a BPMN Process.
Drag and drop a REST Task from the tools palette in the place where you need to invoke the endpoint.
