+# Metron Maven Archetypes
+
+These are [Apache Maven
Archetypes](http://maven.apache.org/archetype/index.html) for use in creating
extension components for the Apache Metron system
+Archetypes are helpful in creating maven based projects with the correct
setup and dependency configurations for the target system, including providing
sample implementations.
+
+### metron-maven-parser-extension-archetype
+This is an archetype for creating an Apache Metron Parser Extension
+
+#### Use
+
+Build and install the archetype
+```
+$ mvn install
+```
+
+Create a directory to host your extension code
+
+```
+$ mkdir ~/src/my-parser-extension

Just a suggestion - the predefined extensions have directory names and
structures like this:
```
* metron-parser-extensions
* metron-parser-extension-<sensor name>-extension
* metron-parser-<sensor name>
* metron-parser-<sensor name>-assembly
* metron-parser-<sensor name>-bundle
```
To give the reader context, I would consider changing
`~/src/my-parser-extension` to `~/src/metron-parser-nice-extension`
