If you need to create a non-stage component such as a feeder, follow the instructions for Creating a New Pipeline Stage and then convert it to a Component from a Stage.
After you import the Stage into Eclipse, complete the following steps.
1. Change the class definition so that the class extends ComponentImpl rather than StageImpl:
public class MyFeeder extends ComponentImpl {
2. Delete the process(Job j) method:
public void process(Job j) throws AspireException {
3. Add the required functionality to the component.
4. Update the unit tests.
If you are creating a feeder, you may want to base it on the Simple Feeder.
