- [Disclaimer](#disclaimer)

## Requirements
* JDK 1.7 or higher
* Apache Maven 3.0.5 or higher

## Getting Started

Building the nifi-parent module should be rare since it will be released infrequently compared to
the main 'nifi' code tree.

- Build the nifi-parent module using `mvn clean install`.
- Presuming you need to make use of changes to the nifi-parent module, you should next
  go to the [nifi-nar-maven-plugin](../nifi-nar-maven-plugin) directory and follow its instructions
  and finally the [nifi](../nifi) directory.

## Disclaimer

Apache NiFi is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC.

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.

While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness
or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
fully endorsed by the ASF.
