No. The Admin API has changed to such a degree that it is not backward compatible. I believe this is
due to teiid 7.x targetting jboss 5.1 whilst teiid 8.x target jboss 7+.

Barry, please clarify this if I am incorrect. Don't want to spread FUD unnecessarily.

My thoughts were this would be a P2 repo with multiple versions of the teiid feature. It would be up
to clients to set their plugin dependencies to the appropriate version. This is already done
currently in the TD plugin codebase on the basis of teiid_embedded_query [8.0.0,9.0.0). Would this work?
