Hello,
In order to have a form for a human task you can use three methods,

1. You can use the default ftl functionality from the console. As you have 
realised it is necessary to upload the ftl file to guvnor, if you are going to 
use the console, because the console gets the form from the gwt-server-console 
which renders the form based on the ftl found in guvnor.

2. You can use the default ftl functionality with your own application 
comunicating with gwt-console-server (as the console does) through the REST API 
of gwt-console-server. In this case you also need the ftl files in guvnor since 
the gwt-console-server will serve the rendered forms based on the ftl found in 
guvnor.

3. You can use only api without using the ftl functionality and managing task 
services by your own. So when you have a task you may display your own gui and 
call relevant api in order to complete the task etc.  (see   
http://community.jboss.org/people/bpmn2user/blog/2011/04/03/jbpm5-human-task-api-usage-example
 
http://community.jboss.org/people/bpmn2user/blog/2011/04/03/jbpm5-human-task-api-usage-example
 )

In all cases there has to be a task service running.
Generally guvnor is a repository and manager of your resources and rules logic, 
so if you use only the jbpm5 api then not only you don't need to use ftl files 
but you can also ignore guvnor completely. However you can certainly use guvnor 
from your api as well, as great repository, to build your knowledge base and 
use it for managing resources, having versions, building extra rules etc.

I would appreciate any other ideas, comments etc thanks
