Yes, it will create myfancytool-taverna-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.xml, copy it to the location specified in the distributionManagement section and update the pluginlist.xml to include myfancytool-taverna-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.xml. If pluginlist.xml doesn't already exist it will be created. > 4. In that sample pom.xml, is that "http://www.example.com/maven/repository"; > just a plain web directory? It's the location of the repository where you deployed the jars for your plugin, i.e. the repository specified by the distributionManagement section of ./example-activity/pom.xml and ./example-activity-ui/pom.xml > I mean, I just went to /var/www/html and created a maven2 directory.

The distributionManagement section of the plugin pom specifies where the plugin file will be deployed - this would not normally be the same location as your maven repository. As an example, the default Taverna plugins location is http://www.mygrid.org.uk/taverna/updates/2.2.0/plugins/official/ while the Taverna maven repository is at http://www.mygrid.org.uk/maven/repository/ The distributionManagement for your plugin pom section should be something like: <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>my-plugin-site</id> <name>My Plugin Site</name> <url>ftp://vm6.ucsd.edu/pub//taverna/plugins/</url> </repository> </distributionManagement> You also need to update the dependencies section, it should be more like: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>uk.ac.manchester.cs.img.myfancytool</groupId> <artifactId>example-activity</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>uk.ac.manchester.cs.img.myfancytool</groupId> <artifactId>example-activity-ui</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> </dependencies> > 5.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll try and update the wiki page to make it clearer.
