dev, In light of the some recent deprecations (ListenLumberjack) and some potential deprecation (PutJMS/GetJMS) I started some progress on how to document the depreciation of NiFi components using annotations.
In the absence of any better name I called the annotation @DeprecationWarning (so not overlap with Java's @Deprecated) The suggested modifications are part of PR#1718 and I am keen to hear your thoughts. While the documentation can be displayed as part of the usage, however I would imagine the frequency a user browses to the usage pages will reduce as her/him becomes familiar with the components. In light of this it may be a good idea to use the web UI to highlight a processor has been deprecated. Would anyone suggest a way of doing so without disrupting the user experience? Cheers
