The Taverna Engine in 2.0 and 2.1 is really just a 
WorkflowInstanceFacade created around a Workflow.  I can point you at 
code to create and run such a facade if you want.

That's correct.  The Taverna Platform will not be used for 2.1.  It will 
be leveraged in 2010 for developing a later version of Taverna.

I think it may be easier if you consider using a Taverna server that 
your own program can talk to rather than embedding Taverna.  It's often 
easier.  We have an alpha state Taverna 2 server.  That may be easier to 
use (and more robust longer term) than including execution code in your 
program.

Where in the mvn do you get this error?  It should be downloading that 
jar from http://www.cyclonic.org/t2platform/repository...

What did it give as the choice of archetypes? What version of mvn are 
you using?
