Thank’s a lot!
Dear all:
I tried to install the CDK-Taberna plugin using Taverna 1.7.2, following all the steps as mentioned in the tutorial (http://cdktaverna.wordpress.com/installing-cdk-taverna/). It did not work, giving the message “This plugin site contains no new plugins”
I also tried the same but after installing Taverna 2.1 beta.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
PD: I have Java 7 Update 17 and my OS is Windows Vista.
Hi,
today I release a new CDK-Taverna Version for Taverna 1.7.2.1. Now you should be able to use it within this Taverna version.
Cheers,
Thomas
Hi Fernando,
last December we started porting the CDK-Taverna plugin to Taverna 2.x… I managed to get a CDK plugin working in Taverna 2.0, but we had trouble getting it going on Taverna 2.1, but also with 2.0 on Windows…
Just FYI…

Hi Chris,
CDK-Taverna is currently not available for Taverna 2.1. Sorry. You have to use Taverna 1.7.2.

I’ve tried installing the CDK plugin on Taverna Workbench version 1.7.2.1. The plugin claims it is installed, put I can’t see the CDK services under “Local Services”. Am I missing something?
Hi
I’ve been trying this out a bit, but can’t get any of the IO workers to produce output files? Not even direct read and write (say from .sdf to .mdl)?
What could I be missing?
Regards

Egon,
I too have had difficulty installing the CDK plugin for Taverna. I’m using Taverna 1.7.2 on a Windows Vista platform. I’ve followed all the steps you showed and all appears to work exactly as you indicate. However no CDK-Taverna workers appear in the menu, although the Plugin manager claims that the CDK plugin is installed.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hi Nick, I only just saw this pending comment! This blog is not primarily by me, and only just approved it. Please give CDK-Taverna 2 a try!
