Yellowfin’s plug-in loader will accept standard JAR files, however any dependencies will need to be loaded individually into the same plug-in group.  An alternative to loading all JAR files individually is to create a YFP package. A YFP package is just a standard zip file renamed with a “yfp” extension. This will allow the user to load all dependencies with a single file upload into Yellowfin.

When creating a YFP package, all JAR files should be placed in the root of the YFP zip file. Only external dependencies should be included in the YFP file. Do not include Yellowfin build dependencies.


  1. Export the JAR file with the packages that you require.

  2. If the project has dependent JARs, follow these steps:

    1. Put all of the dependencies and the plug-in JAR into one directory.

    2. Zip into one archive.

    3. Change the file extension to "yfp".

  3. Upload your converter widget to Yellowfin using the Plug-in Manager. Click here for instructions on how to do this.
