"Cannot determine simple type name "StepMetaInterface""

Correct, sorry — my mistake . I copied the code incorrectly from another 
example. Here's the one I'm working with now,
``` java

String firstnameField;
String lastnameField;
String datField;

public boolean processRow() throws HopException {

    if (first) {
        firstnameField = getParameter("FIRSTNAME_FIELD");
        lastnameField = getParameter("LASTNAME_FIELD");
        first = false;
    }

    Object[] r = getRow();
    if (r == null) {
        setOutputDone();
        return false;
    }

    Object[] outputRow = createOutputRow(r, data.outputRowMeta.size());

        
        String firstname = get(Fields.In, firstnameField).getString(r);
        String lastname = get(Fields.In, lastnameField).getString(r);


        String dat = firstname + lastname ;
        get(Fields.Out, datField).setValue(outputRow, dat);

       
        putRow(data.outputRowMeta, outputRow);
        return true;

}
```
I'm not 100% sure — in the end, I ended up doing the same example that Slawo 
used in his blog.
