No XML node description available! Please add.

How to adapt your NodeDescription

Create an XML file, which is named exactly like your NodeFactory and placed in the same directory. The NodeDescription explains the functionality of the node, the configuration options, the node's view and the meaning of the in- and outports.

The format of the node description must comply with an XML Schema. The current schema can be retrieved from http://knime.org/node/v2.12.xsd. Briefly, the NodeDescription XML is structured in the following way:

knimeNode:
The knimeNode must have the correct namespace, e.g. http://knime.org/node/v2.12, i.e. is must begin with
<knimeNode xmlns="http://knime.org/node/v2.12" 
	   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	   xsi:schemaLocation="http://knime.org/node/v2.12 http://knime.org/node/v2.12.xsd">
Additionally add an icon and define the type as attributes: <knimeNode icon="./yourIcon" type="Visualizer" /> The icon should be contained in the same directory as the XML file and the NodeFactory.
