Justin, We had an additional email that went out to the NiFi dev listing providing a guide in getting evaluating this release. We have a few projects that are utilized and require separate installation steps as some refactoring occurred to introduce the nifi-parent. Some of those details were not made immediately clear in the release email, but are covered in the README with the source bundle for the core nifi release. Additionally, Joe Witt provided an accompanying guide to the community, available in the mailing list archive [1]. In summary, the nifi-parent and nifi-nar-maven-plugin must both be installed before the nifi build can be accomplished. This particular release is likely a bit of an outlier as the nifi-parent and nifi-nar-maven-plugin should be fairly well set moving forward, but has led to the issues in your evaluation process this time around.
