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).

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.
