ASF subversion and git services commented on NIFI-5859:
-------------------------------------------------------

Commit 1ac5b93144ebd92c907fb49664a524e196ae20c6 in nifi's branch 
refs/heads/master from [~markap14]
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=nifi.git;h=1ac5b93 ]

NIFI-5859: Added XML-based documentation writer that can be used to document a 
component.
- Found several instances of nifi-framework-api's ProviderException being 
thrown from processors. Changed those to IllegalStateException, as 
ProviderException is not an appropriate Exception in those cases, and 
extensions should not depend on nifi-framework-api.
- Performed some cleanup, moving Property Descriptors from Controller Service 
API's/specs into the implementations. Adding to the Service API results in 
bringing in nifi-utils to the nifi-standard-services-api-nar, which is a bad 
practice. The 'main' service api nar should not have a dependency on a util 
class.

NIFI-5859: Added javadocs. Fixed pom.xml that was left pointing to snapshot 
version of nar maven plugin

NIFI-5859: Addressing review feedback: adding component type, multiple 
additional details into separate file(s)

This closes #3192.

> In order to have the NiFi Registry host any extensions, the registry will 
> need a way to know what extensions exist in a given NAR. Currently, that 
> information is not available directly.
> The NAR maven plugin should be updated to provide a list of extensions and 
> for each one, provide at least the following minimal information:
>  * Extension Type
>  * Extension Name
>  * Capability Description
>  * Whether or not the component is Restricted, "sub-restrictions" it has, and 
> explanations of both
>  * Any Tags that the component has
>  * If the component is a Controller Service, any Controller Service API's 
> that it provides
> Additionally, it would be ideal to provide all documentation for the 
> component within the NAR. It is best, though, not to write the documentation 
> in HTML as is done now but rather in XML or some sort of form that provides 
> the information in a structured way without any styling. This would allow the 
> documentation to be rendered consistently, even if the styling changes from 1 
> version to the next.
