Description

On adding the correct NAR file to the lib directory for windows event log processors, MiNiFi proceeds to still fail to intialise the processor, creating a ghost processor in the logs. A workaround solution has been found for this:

1. Copy in the NAR file to the lib directory as instructed.
2. Run MiNiFi and allow to fail to intialise the processor for a suitable flow.
3. Stop MiNiFi.
4. Copy unpacked jar files from $MINIFI_HOME/work/nar/extensions/nifi-windows-event...[etc.]/META-INF/bundled-dependencies/.
5. Paste in lib directory of MiNiFi.
6. Run MiNiFi, processors should now initialise correctly.
