I just tried on Windows 7/x64 with Java 1.6.0_19 64-bit and 1.6.0_21
64-bit, and CDK installed and appeared in Taverna 1.7.2 when using the
plugin site http://cdk-taverna.de/plugin/

It seems to work with:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_19\bin\java.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_19\bin\java.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"


Could you check your Taverna *home* directory? On Windows 7 this
should be C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Taverna-1.7.2

After installation of the CDK plugin (and no other plugins) the
repository/ folder in the home folder should be 4.63 MB - you can try
deleting the folders 'repository' and 'plugins' and try to install the
CDK plugin again?


Could it be that your network requires a proxy configuration? That
could cause problems for download of plugins, but should be caught at
plugin installation time. As CDK Taverna does run their Maven
repository on the official port 80, it should not be blocked by
firewalls, we've seen cases where repositories on say :8080 could be
blocked.


Could you try to copy over the repository/ and plugins/ folder of the
user folder (C:\Local users\...) from the XP machine where everything
works, and put it into the Windows 7 machine?



A good tip is to try to run taverna-debug.bat to check for any error
traces. A successful startup after installing the CDK plugin should
give minimal traces:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Taverna Workbench 1.7.2>taverna-debug
WARN  2010-10-04 11:23:01,081 Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.
DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabl
ed.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Taverna Workbench 1.7.2>



but if I install the plugin while not logged in to our WiFi (which
instead gives a silly HTML login page to any URL) I get:

[Fatal Error] :1:1: Premature end of file.
04-Oct-2010 11:16:16 net.sf.taverna.raven.repository.impl.ArtifactImpl ?
WARNING: XML SAX error for C:\Users\stain\AppData\Roaming\Taverna-1.7.2\reposito

nown Source)

If this has happened you need to clear the repository/ and plugin/
folders and install the CDK plugin again, as an invalid download of
say the cdk-taverna-0.5.1.1.pom file is stored in your Taverna home
directory.

Note that due to a bug in Taverna 1 merely deleting the repository/
folder will not necessarily force a re-download from the plugin site,
as plugins are loaded in arbitrary order, so you need to also delete
plugins/plugins.xml to install the plugin again.
