To execute a sample contribution from Maven look for contributions that have the following configuration in their pom.xml file: org.apache.tuscany.maven.plugins maven-tuscany-plugin 2.0-SNAPSHOT For contributions that have this, for example, binding-sca/contribution-calculator, do the following cd samples/binding-sca/contribution-calculator mvn tuscany:run This will launch the contribution in the Tuscany runtime and then wait. At this point you can use other clients to send messages to services that the running SCA applcation exposes, for example, try calculator-scaclient.
