Hi Tom,
As I have some experience in Maven and Taverna, I guess I can
proceed to play with the platform without waiting for your VM image?
This is also because that I prefer to work on windows rather than linux.
So, I assume that I can obtain all the necessary artifacts, documents,
exercise and source code from the links you gave below?
Thank you very much for the instructions, and wish you all the best
in everything in your future!
Best regards,
Wei
