Hi Chris,

yes, we use the appId (the identifier of the processing element) to manage 
assets such as icons and language files. The appId is the first parameter you 
provide in the ProcessingElementBuilder of the declareModel method (in your 
case, it's provided by the variable ID).

As this id is used internally to identify the pipeline element, it should use 
this dotted structure by convention (e.g., if you've started a pipeline element 
container, the description of the pipeline element will be available under this 
path).

So, for instance, if the ID of your processor is 
org.apache.plc4x.streampipes.processors.enrich.bacnetip.ede, then the assets 
that belong to this processor must be under a directory named 
org.apache.plc4x.streampipes.processors.enrich.bacnetip.ede (which is just a 
single directory) in your resources folder, otherwise they will not be found 
once you start the container.


Hope this helps!
Dominik
