This is due to size constraints imposed by the mirrors to reduce the expenses associated with hosting such a large project. The Developer Guide link:developer-guide.html#build[has a list] of optional Maven profiles that can be activated to build a binary distribution of NiFi with these extra capabilities. + +To execute build, download either Java 8 or Java 11 from https://www.adoptium.net[Adoptium] or whichever distribution of the JDK your team uses (Adoptium is the rebranding of AdoptOpenJDK which is one of the most popular). Java 8 and 11 are the only officially supported JVMs releases. Then install https://maven.apache.org[Apache Maven]. Review comment: Just suggested two minor edits.
