> 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.
