Here is how to add a handler inside a Eclipse maven project. I call it the Awesome handler, but your should pick a more specific name.

1) First create a work item definition file in src/main/resources/WorkItemDefinitions.wid. My icon file is located in src/main/resources.

import org.drools.core.process.core.datatype.impl.type.StringDataType;

[
  [
    "name" : "Awesome",
    "parameters" : [
      "Message1" : new StringDataType(),
       "Message2" : new StringDataType()
     ],
    "displayName" : "Awesome",
    "icon" : "icon-info.gif"
  ]
]

2) Create a Work Item Handler Config file in src/main/resources/META-INF/CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf

[
  "Awesome": new org.jbpm.examples.util.handler.AwesomeHandler()
]

3) Create a drools session config file: src/main/resources/META-INF/drools.session.conf

drools.workItemHandlers = CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf

4) Create your Handler so that it matches the class you defined in step 2

public class AwesomeHandler implements WorkItemHandler {

    public AwesomeHandler() {
        super();
    }

    public void executeWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {
        System.out.println("Executing Awesome handler");
        manager.completeWorkItem(workItem.getId(), null);
    }

    public void abortWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {
        System.out.println("Aborting");
    }
}

5) After you establish the handler, you must register it with your session.

//Get session
KieSession ksession = runtime.getKieSession();

//Register handlers
ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("Awesome", new AwesomeHandler());

At this point you should restart eclipse. When eclipse opens, there should be a 'Custom Tasks' tab in the palette. It should contain an entry labeled 'Awesome' with the specified icon.
