The com.raytheon.uf.edex.archive.feeder plugin is not part of the standard EDEX deploy. It is a tool for debugging the binary files generated for archiving. The easiest way to generate this plugin jar is to add the following to com.raytheon.edex.feature.uframe/feature.xml: Then run the build.edex deploy-install.xml. This will create the plugin jar file: /awips2/edex/lib/plugins/com.raytheon.uf.edex.archive.feeder.jar the needed configuration file: /awips2/edex/conf/resources/com.raytheon.uf.edex.archive.feeder.properties By placing these two files in the corresponding locations on the desired EDEX server and restarting EDEX will start the clusteredArchiveBinaryFeederProc. You can then drop the binary files into the archive.feeder.directory, default /tmp/archive-feeder.
