[Max Rydahl Andersen]

This sounds amazing! Got links to the code ?

about going from 3 to 1 plugins we need to check p2 metadata is right to 
avoid issues.

> proving unsustainable and fast
> becoming unmanagable hence a single plugin contained in (and 
> maintained by Designer devs) was
> preferred;
>
> * The plugin should allow Designer to perform local sql parsing, 
> resolving and validation of vdb
> models, as well as connecting/deploying/undeploying to all teiid 
> instances at version 7.7+;
>
> * A single plugin where 90% of the teiid client codebase is the same 
> should be able to handle,
> with the help of annotations and version checks, the 10% of 
> differences between teiid versions;
>
> * Only where absolutely necessary should actual different classes be 
> created that are teiid
> version-specific, eg. Teiid7Parser, Teiid8Parser;
>
> Thus, the single plugin is backward compatible (but then most of teiid 
> is already backward
> compatible!) but it should also be forward limiting in that validating 
> teiid v8 sql syntax against
> a teiid v7 version should correctly fail.
