# Examples

The preferred approach to adding a step analyzer is through OSGi. We realize that there are many legacy PDI plugins which provide steps and job entries. While it is not part of this project to convert these plugins to OSGi for the purpose of contributing analyzers, you can add step analyzers to an existing PDI plugin. Jump down to the section dedicated to this purpose.

This example will outline the steps taken to create the `sample-metaverse-bundle`. It demonstrates how to create a new step analyzer for the Table Input step.
