 For an update, this transform returns a comma-separated list of columns names that were set to null and previously not null.
 
+===== Java Transform
+
+Java Transform ('java'): Use Java code in the transform expression that is included
+in the transform method of a class that extends JavaColumnTransform. The class is compiled
+whenever the transform expression changes and kept in memory for runtime.
+The code must return a String for the new value of the column being mapped.
+
+Some variables are provided to the code:
