Mark, I can certainly give it a shot! There are some other small issues I've run across while working out the development kinks with my system. For example, on Windows 7 EE using Maven 3.2.5, there are three plugin errors that occur but are easily fixed by adding the appropriate <pluginManagement> tags in their associated pom.xml files. How would I go about submitting a pull request or patch for something as simple a fix as that?

Kristin, Great! Happy that you were able to get things sorted out. I use Eclipse heavily but for Java development, not UI stuff. I think most of the devs that contribute to the NiFi UI tend to use Netbeans. We do need to get something setup somewhere (possibly in the Developer Guide, the Quickstart Guide, or even the new Wiki) for IDE-specific setup. For instance, we need to post a template for code style and some templates for auto-completion of stubbed out statements. If you're interested in writing something up for the next person who deals with this, we'd be happy to make that available for others!
