"Error: Unknown operator class: 'process'!"

Hello all.
I am new to RapidMiner program. I have written a program based on RapidMiner, but it came out an error I could not solve, although I tried all the method I knew.

I have already solved this problem, thanks for help!Here is my program. This program reads an xml file of a RapidMiner process, and try to run it. 
import java.io.File;

import com.rapidminer.Process;
import com.rapidminer.RapidMiner;
import com.rapidminer.example.ExampleSet;
import com.rapidminer.operator.IOContainer;

public class Test {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      
       try{
           /*
            * 配置一个Process工作的XML文件,这个文件可以在示例文件夹里挑选出一个来.
            * 在这里我们用了最简单的读取样本的流程文件
            */
           File file = new File("D:\\java\\Workspace\\RapidMinerTest\\src\\com\\rapidminer\\resources\\customs_Kmeans.xml");
           System.setProperty("rapidminer.home", "E:\\Program Files\\Rapid-I\\RapidMiner5");
           //System.setProperty("rapidminer.rcfile", "E:\\Program Files\\Rapid-I\\RapidMiner5\\resources\\com\\rapidminer\\resources\\rapidminerrc");
     
           System.setProperty("rapidminer.init.weka","false");
           RapidMiner.init();

           //Process temp = RapidMiner.readProcessFile(file);
           Process temp = new Process(file);
           System.out.println("---------------");
          
           IOContainer io = temp.run();

           ExampleSet exampleSet = io.get(ExampleSet.class);
           
           System.out.println("exampleSet:==============" );
          
           System.out.println(exampleSet.getAttributes());
          
           System.out.println("ExampleSource Operator:");
          
           System.out.println(temp.getRootOperator().getOperator(0));
          
       }catch(Exception e){
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
      
    }

}
Here is the error log.

First, I don't get that why these errors show up. My project has include the path of rapidminer.jar, even xpp3.jar and xstream.jar.

Second, I don't get this error. I have already import the package, why it still can not see Process class. Where is the "process" class instead of "Process" class?

    Hi there,

    I seem to remember this coming up before, check out ...

    http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,2367.0.html

    Moreover there was some talk of providing a guide to application embedding; you'll have to pay when it emerges, but as they say, 'time is money' .

    Good luck!

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply. I don't quite get the "pay" means. Isn't rapidminer an open-source software, there is something to pay but only the newest operators. However, here is the Process class, I think maybe it is not the "pay" problem.

    I already include the rapidminer.jar, the xpp3.jar, the xstream.jar in my Eclipse Libraries set.

    Does somebody know what does this means?
    My original mining stream does work in the rapidminer GUI, so the xml file probably has no errors.

    Hi,
    just to make it clear: RapidMiner is of course OpenSource (more exactly: AGPL3), but we offer the service to help you with the integration, which of course is not for free.

    Are you trying to import an old RapidMiner 4.4 process to RapidMiner 5? This might cause some problems...

    Greetings,
      Sebastian
