Jim, I'd recommend just forking NiFi and updating it with a patch. Writing your own processor for this sounds like massive overkill for what you need. If you know how to use Git, you'll be fine. You can add me on GitHub as a reviewer when you're done (I can at least do the initial pass for Andy or someone else).
The easiest way to do the compliance check when you think you're done is to have another terminal open to $NIFI_ROOT and run this: mvn clean install -Pcontrib-check -pl :some-module-name Note that ":" at the start. It's required for Maven to identify it as a module name. That'll build only the module you want to test. You can also run just your own tests with: mvn test -Dtest=org.apache.nifi.x.y.z.MyTest Sometimes that's necessary if other tests are broken for whatever reason and they're not related to your code.
