Adding Tools to HIPE |
| |  For naming tasks follow the Java conventions, that is, use camelCase and avoid underscores: reduceLight is valid, reduce_light is not. HIPE displays info log messages for invalid task names. Note that task names are used as variable names (of type Task) automatically created when starting HIPE.

| | Validating prime input
In most cases, the type of the prime input is not enough to determine whether a task is applicable to a variable. Your task may only run on a SpecificProduct if it contains certain contents: a typical example is a SPIRE task operating on an ObservationContext: clearly, such task should not be listed when a HIFI observation is selected. |
