method for *all* tasks in a process instance

[kukeltje]

In a few systems, I've had the need to show all open tasks in a process instance where the user/company is a participant in just to show him/her who's turn it is to do something. A question like this has also come up in the user forum a few times and very recently as well (http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=156509). Is this something we think is worth implementing? I'll file a jira issue anyway so even if it is rejected, there is a log of it that it was discussed.

I've also seen the use case in the past. Especially the manager types are interested in the information (in jBPM3, the query wasn't that hard to do)

In our case it was not only managers. The processes were between multiple companies (a car repair system with 5 different types of participating companies in each processinstance) and every company wanted to know which other company's turn it was to do something.
