Howdy,

               I have created my own processor which I have been testing with 
NiFi for a while now. This stuff used to work for me, now it doesn't.  Today 
nifi won't start.  The nifi-app.log is below
The processor reads in an image type NITF and does a few things with it.  I do 
a:
$ mvn install

from ~/nifi-0.3.0/nifi-mitre-bundle/ which is where my software is. I then
$ cp 
~/nifi-0.3.0/nifi-mitre-bundle/nifi-mitre-nar/target/nifi-mitre-nar-1.0-SNAPSHOT.nar
 ../lib/

When I start nifi the nifi-app.log shows the below exception with the bottom 
line being
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.mitre.nifi.NiFiNITFReader

I looked in my lib/nifi-mitre-nar-1.0-SNAPSHOT.nar it contains

I see org/mitre/nifi/NiFiNITFReader.class in the jar file.

Any thoughts on what the problem is?

Thank you
