Looked over this contribution. Excellent work here - will make all of our l=
ives much easier! :)
Only thing I'm really unsure about here is when you are generating HTML=2C =
you are including the Apache header into the generated HTML page and I'm no=
t sure that it should go in there.
If it were a document that went into our CM it would definitely need it. Ho=
wever=2C this is something that is getting auto-generated by NiFi at runtim=
e=2C and it would be adding Apache License headers to documentation for com=
ponents that are not part of Apache NiFi.
Can anyone confirm that I am correct here=2C that it doesn't need to be in =
the artifacts that NiFi generates at runtime or otherwise correct me if I'm=
wrong?
Thanks-Mark
ully this time works better

Mark,

I believe you have it correct. Headers are not required on generated
items. They are required on all source files with 'few exceptions'[1].

As long as these HTML documents are being built during the build phase that
makes them not part of the source. Remember the official release of apache
nifi are the source materials. The resulting binaries are not the
releasable item as they are not 'open source'.

Anyone think I have this wrong?

Thanks

Mark/Joe,
Unless I hear anything to the contrary, I'll update the code to remove the license generation later tonight.

Thanks!

Just pulled out the license generation. Let me know if there are any other problems. Thanks!
