Hi, the recommended way to develop a plugin for Taverna is described at http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/wiki/display/developer/Creating+plugins+for+Taverna+2 - and the procedure described there would not require you to modify any Taverna source code or compile all of Taverna from scratch. It is also important to be careful about Maven repositories if you modify code without changing the pom.xml version numbers, as otherwise you risk Taverna or Maven downloading the 'official' version from http://www.mygrid.org.uk/maven/repository - for instance if the original all-activities POM has already been downloaded from there and exists in .taverna/repository, your modified version would not be picked up. If you build products/net.sf.taverna.t2.taverna-workbench/workbench-distro using mvn clean install -Pnightly you should get a copy of the required JARs and POMs in the repository/ folder of the produced zip - if you emmit -Pnightly then the plugins.xml file will include file:///your/home/.m2/repository and pick them up from there. The danger with this last option is if you are doing a build from trunk is that Maven will check for new -SNAPSHOT versions after 24h, so if you don't rebuild all-activities you might get a 'newer' version downloaded from http://www.mygrid.org.uk/maven/snapshot-repository/ For us Taverna developers this is generally a good thing, as we tend to check in our work at least every day, and so it would be part of the build for the next day for every developer, even if he didn't rebuild that bit of the code. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
