+# Development of the nar-maven-plugin #
+
+The nar-maven-plugin is an Apache Maven plugin that builds NAR files; the
self-contained jar-files that
+encapsulate NiFi functions.
+
+The plugin defines a Maven packaging type ('nar'). Plugins that define
packaging types modify the Maven
+build lifecycle, and must therefore include `<extensions>true</extensions>`
when they are configured in a POM.
+Plugins that declare extensions cannot be resolved from the Maven reactor. The
net result of all of this is that the
+plugin cannot be 'just another module' in the overalll NiFi Maven build. It
has to be an independent build.
+Further, it has to be independently released. So, even though there is a
`nar-maven-plugin` directory in the overall
+git repo, that directory is an independent project, not a module of the
overall NiFi project.
