I assume you know Jia Zhang, as she asked me the exact same question a few days ago in personal emails.
For the benefit of the public, here's my response, with a few additions: On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 16:38, John Alexander <[email protected]> wrote: > My question is: How do I run compiled plugins inside of the development > version of Taverna 2.2? When running the workbench-dev plugins are not activated, as Taverna is running with a regular all-in-one classpath. The Raven plugin system is not running when running the 'Developer workbench' like this. To include the SADI activity, the simplest is to copy those two <dependency> blocks from the plugin file and add it to <dependencies> of the pom.xml from where you are running the -dev workbench. Within Eclipse, this will add the SADI plugin to the direct classpath of Taverna. Note that if you add additional activities in this way you are likely to find some of them not working, as you will end up with conflicting JARs which contain the same classes in different versions. If this pom is part of another plugin you are making (like in the plugin tutorial), use <scope>test</scope> for each <dependency> to avoid re-exporting the SADI activity from the new plugin. If you have checked out workbench-dev directly, no need to scope. Now in the case of your new plugin (which I guess you must be making since you are running the developer workbench) actually needing to use the SADI code directly somehow, then you would need to add the sadi-activity <dependency> (but not sadi-activity-ui) to the <dependencies> section pom.xml of your-activity/pom.xml. Note that this would implicitly also include various dependencies which sadi-activity declares to the classpath of your plugin. BTW - what is your development intending to do with the SADI plugin..? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester Wave Report - Recovery time is now measured in hours and minutes not days.
