A template for building a RapidMiner Extension.

1. Checkout RapidMiner (e.g. to ~/git/rapidminer).

2. Checkout the extension template to the same folder (e.g. to ~/git/extension-template)

3. Change the name property of build.xml and replace "Template" by the desired extension name

4. Change these build.xml properties:

   • extension.name
   • extension.name.long
   • extension.namespace
   • extension.vendor
   • extension.admin
   • extension.url

5. Rename all Java classes and resource files by replacing "Template" by the desired extension name. Do not forget to adapt the docbundle in OperatorsTemplate.xml!

6. Adapt these build.xml properties to reflect the name changes made in last step:

   • extension.initClass
   • extension.objectDefinition
   • extension.operatorDefinition
   • extension.parseRuleDefinition
   • extension.groupProperties
   • extension.errorDescription
   • extension.userErrors
   • extension.guiDescription

7. Add an extension icon by placing an image named "icon.png" in resources/META-INF (e.g. resources/META-INF/icon.png).

8. Build and install your extension by executing the Ant target "install"

9. Start RapidMiner and check whether your extension has been loaded
