Plugin development docs

Is there an official documentation for plugin development or looking at
other's source code still the best place?

I'm starting a new plugin, but I'm a bit lost without a javadoc or a guide
to start. Any pointers?

Regards

Sorry for bumping up this topic, but I'm looking at other's plugins to
figure out how to create mine :). But one thing I could not find is an easy
way to test the plugin. So far I'm depending on installing and using the
logger to see if its working :frowning:

I'm relying on unit testing, but I'd like to use an integration test to
maybe bootstrap a node and install my plugin and test it.

Has anyone here managed to do something like this before?

Regards

Hi Vinicius,

You could look at :
https://github.com/dadoonet/rssriver/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/river/rss/RssRiverTest.java
And mother classes :
https://github.com/dadoonet/rssriver/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/river/rss/AbstractRssRiverSimpleTest.java
https://github.com/dadoonet/rssriver/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/river/rss/AbstractRssRiverTest.java

When you start a node from a test, it detects your plugin in classpath as you have this file in your project: src/main/resources/es-plugin.properties

So, you can create whatever you want using your plugin, index and search for docs.

This nicely written example by Jorg Prante might be helpful:

javadocs can be created through the javadoc:javadoc maven goal. I found
this the other day and they have helped tremendously with my work.
