[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-1796) Create the 'Hello World' example of custom processor development

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1796?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15250902#comment-15250902 ] 

Andy LoPresto commented on NIFI-1796:
-------------------------------------

I also noticed that the Developer Guide is not linked to at the top level in the left navigation bar of the documentation site. To find it, one must go to the User Guide, scroll to the bottom of the table of contents to see "Where to go to get more information", then click "Developer Guide". A new developer will probably not find this link easily. I suggest promoting the Developer Guide to top level status alongside the User Guide and Admin Guide in that navigation list.

> We really need to create a simple guide for how to build custom processor in nifi.  The sort of 'hello world' example.
> This was created due to finding it hard to give a nice simple short pointer for a question on the mailing list.
> We do have a solid developer guide here [1] that goes into the key concepts and processor development a bit.  The next best thing is to use the supplied maven archetype to lay down the fundamental pieces.  You can read a bit more about that here [2].  Finally something that is also quite helpful is looking at the standard processors to see if anything follows the pattern/problem you had in mind and which can serve as a good basis [3]
