> Update NAR maven plugin to include information about Extensions
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-5859
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5859
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Tools and Build
> Reporter: Mark Payne
> Assignee: Mark Payne
> Priority: Major
>
> In order to have the NiFi Registry host any extensions, the registry will
> need a way to know what extensions exist in a given NAR. Currently, that
> information is not available directly.
> The NAR maven plugin should be updated to provide a list of extensions and
> for each one, provide at least the following minimal information:
> * Extension Type
> * Extension Name
> * Capability Description
> * Whether or not the component is Restricted, "sub-restrictions" it has, and
> explanations of both
> * Any Tags that the component has
> * If the component is a Controller Service, any Controller Service API's
> that it provides
> Additionally, it would be ideal to provide all documentation for the
> component within the NAR. It is best, though, not to write the documentation
> in HTML as is done now but rather in XML or some sort of form that provides
> the information in a structured way without any styling. This would allow the
> documentation to be rendered consistently, even if the styling changes from 1
> version to the next.
