This guide is for developers who want to create their own Data Transformation widgets for Yellowfin. After development, widgets may be imported into Yellowfin using the plug-in manager. Developers may write their own Input, Transformation and Output widgets.
These are the prerequisites for setting up the development environment for writing any Yellowfin plug-ins:
Set up your preferred IDE. We recommend Eclipse for EE developers.
Install the Tomcat plug-in for your IDE, if it’s not already included in the installation.
Install the version of Yellowfin to be used for development.
Start up Yellowfin to extract the WAR file.
