5.2. Validating Agent Plug-ins
If the agent plug-in was generated using the JBoss ON plug-in generator and built with Maven, the plug-in itself can be validated using Maven. The JBoss ON/RHQ plug-in source files have a special validation class which can help ensure that the agent plug-in is valid before deploying it (and potentially harming an agent).
mvn org.rhq:rhq-plugin-validator:rhq-plugin-validate
If the agent plug-in was not created using the JBoss ON/RHQ plug-in generator, then add a <build> element to point to the validator and a pointer to the <pluginRepositories> element to point to the Maven repository.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.rhq</groupId>
<artifactId>rhq-core-plugin-validator</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

<pluginRepositories>
