The reference implementation of the Plastic Hub is available as a module in all flavours of the AR (Astro Runtime). Provided you have Java 1.4+ installed (including Java Web Start), you can download and run the Plastic-only flavour of the AR from here. There is also a lightweight implementation of a Plastic Hub and some other useful tools from Plaskit.

Some of these tools will automatically connect to ("register with") the Hub if it is running, while others need to be registered manually by the user. This is a choice of the application author, and the particular application's help documentation should be consulted. When you have a tool or two registered with the hub, try loading a VOTable, e.g. this one and selecting a few points. Depending on the application, you may need to broadcast the table to other applications, or it might happen automatically. Another thing to try is to use the ACR's AstroScope tool, search for some data, and then view the located FITS files or VOTables in an appropriate tool. There are also some diagnostic tools for debugging Plastic applications.
