Erlang modules were created using Tuscany Java SCA 1.4 version. To run JUnit tests you need to run Erlang Port Mapper Daemon (Epmd) which can be found in Erlang distribution: http://erlang.org/download.html To build modules you need jinterface library. I didn't found it in official maven repositories, so solution is to add it manually to your private maven repository. It can be done by executing: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jinterface -DartifactId=jinterface -Dversion=1.4.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=OtpErlang.jar OtpErlang.jar file can be found in official Erlang distribution: http://erlang.org/download.html or here: http://people.apache.org/~wjaniszewski/OtpErlang.jar
