Custom Nodes, Plug-ins & configuration

Hi,

Is there a way to create a custom node and NOT have to define it in a plugin.xml file etc.? Having to do this makes for more steps in the develop/deploy/test process and is not as straight forward as developing a DataRecordTransform.

Something like a variation on the REFORMAT node that can take the name of a class that implements DataRecordTransform would be great. E.g. A node that is configured to use a custom node class that extends the class Node.

cheers,
Paul

Hello, you can do it yourself: write a component which executes class, that extends Node class. If you add this component to your plugin,xml, you can execute any other component without adding it to plugin.xml file.
