Bryan Bende commented on NIFI-7360:
-----------------------------------
[~mike.thomsen] I think this ticket and NIFI-9765 are really two different
things. For this one, I don't think we are talking about building source code
at all, most users won't actually do that. We are talking about documentation
that makes it easy for users to know that there are extra NARs that are
released to Maven central on every release, and can be downloaded and added to
their lib directory. We answer this question all the time in Slack/email, so I
think the intent was to preemptively answer it with docs.

> Key: NIFI-7360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7360
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website
> Reporter: Pierre Villard
> Priority: Major
>
> Some components are not part of the binary we release for NiFi. Such
> components are built through specific profiles and the NARs can be downloaded
> from the internet.
> However from a user perspective and for a better visibility, it'd be great to
> have the associated documentation available on the NiFi website:
> [https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html]
> Maybe there could be a specific way/icon to display such components in the
> list and add a "disclaimer" saying that the components are not available out
> of the bow but can be downloaded from public repositories.
> It could also open the door to include documentation of "community"
> components that we don't include but which would definitely be beneficial for
> the community.
