+# Metron Maven Archetypes
+
+These are [Apache Maven
Archetypes](http://maven.apache.org/archetype/index.html) for use in creating
extension components for the Apache Metron system
+Archetypes are helpful in creating maven based projects with the correct
setup and dependency configurations for the target system, including providing
sample implementations.
+
+### metron-maven-parser-extension-archetype
+This is an archetype for creating an Apache Metron Parser Extension
+
+#### Use
+
+Build and install the archetype
+```
+$ mvn install
+```
+
+Create a directory to host your extension code
+
+```
+$ mkdir ~/src/my-parser-extension
+$ cd ~/src/my-parser-extension
+```
+
+Use the archetype to create your project
+
+```
+$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

I'm following through these docs to create a parser. I did the archetype
install, but the metron archetype is not showing in my list of available
archetypes. Did I miss a step? I'll look at maven archetype install docs, but
if there's anything you can think of in the meantime it might be good to get it
added to the doc.
> Create a plugin system for Metron based on 'NAR'

> Key: METRON-777
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-777
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
>
> The success of the Metron project will be greatly dependent on community
> participation, and with that the ability to adapt and extend Metron without
> having to maintain a fork of the project.
> As organizations and individuals look to extend the Metron system with custom
> parsers, enrichments, and stellar functions that may be proprietary in
> nature, the ability to develop and deploy these extensions outside the Metron
> code base is critically important.
> To that end, and after community discussion and proposal we create or
> formalize the 'plugin' development story in Metron.
> The proposal is to adapt the Apache Nifi NAR system for use in Metron. This
> will provide the system with:
> * archetype(s) for developer projects and independent development
> * defined packaging and metadata for 'plugin' products
> * loading and instantiation with classloader isolation capabilities
> * removing the necessity for shading plugin jars
> These capabilities will also enable other features, such as plugin lifecycle,
> plugin configuration+redeployment, and other things.
> The plugin archetypes and their installation will be a followon
