Importing external component to Talend Studio 7.3

[AStoyakin]

Hello,

I have problems importing external components to Talend Studio. According to instruction I'm unzipping several components to common folder. Then choosing this folder in Preferences - Talend - Components, clicked Apply. The components are not deployed, in error log I see messages:

"Component ... already exists. Cannot load user version"

"Skip deploying libs from custom components"

Please advise how should I resolve it in Studio.

Best regards,

Alex.

Hi

I have never seen this error. Is it a custom component shared on Talend Exchange? If so, can you tell us which component? I will test it.

Hello,

For JavaJet the component load order is the following:

1. Components shipped with Talend
2. Components shared via GIT (Project Settings Shared component)
3. Components from UserComponents folder

This means that if you create a component that conflicts with a shared / system component it won't be loaded as it conflicts.

Please also keep in mind that prior to Talend 7.3 one could easily overwrite / modify the built-in components and apply patches. However with Talend 7.3 the monthly patches often contain all the built-in components which would forcefully overwrite any file in the localprovider.

If there's a need to customize a built-in component please consider:

• Raising a new Feature In JIRA
• Raising a Pull Request in github
  • DI components: https://github.com/Talend/tdi-studio-se/tree/master/main/plugins/org.talend.designer.components.localprovider/components
  • Big Data components: https://github.com/Talend/tbd-studio-se/tree/master/main/plugins/org.talend.designer.components.bigdata/components
• Optionally raising a support case

Once your pull request is reviewed and approved the factory components will contain the changes and there's no need to install custom components.
