Hi David,
I really appreciate your help. I modified my pom and did "mvn package"
successfully. Then I got a
target/myfancytool-taverna-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.xml
But no pluginlist.xml was produced. "mvn deploy" complained about the missing
pluginlist.xml.
Would you have any suggestions on how to debug this?
I have attached my pom.xml.
Thanks
jane

No, I would create a separate project for the plugin management, so add the pom
file from the tutorial at:
./example-activity-plugin/pom.xml

That is correct.

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.

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

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>

The version for the maven-taverna-plugin in the attached pom file is not
correct, it should be 0.1.1 (not 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT).
Thanks for your feedback, I'll try and update the wiki page to make it clearer.
