To begin with, if Teiid has importer plugin with 2, and for 1 have below

a. simple basic UI configurable based on supplied properties
b. has extensible plugin based configuration

it would be help. For (a) I am thinking, if we provide a configuration
file for each source type,  it should create a new importer. This screen
would contain properties such as in these
https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15058 in JDBC and Text connectors.
Obviously, for this somebody needs to come with a simple DSL to drive
the UI that drives the configuration file.
