[teiid-users] Cdk Plugin is available

[Sanjay Chaudhuri]

I checked in the Cdk plugins for review. It's available from :
https://teiid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/teiid/tools/cdk-plugin/.

*Some details:*

1. There are currently 3 plugin:
- org.teiid.cdk.connector.v610 : Wrapper plugin for *teiid-6.1.0-cdk-dist*
- org.teiid.cdk.connector.v620 : Wrapper plugin for *teiid-6.2.0-M3-cdk-dist
*
- org.teiid.cdk.core : Main plugin responsible for code generation and
classpath injection

2. The wizard can be invoked from these perspective right-clicking on New in
Package-Explorer:
- JavaPerspective
- JavaBrowsingPerspective
- JavaHierarchyPerspective
- J2EEPerspective

3. The wizard is self-explanatory for creating a CDK Projects

4. The sources can be imported, built and executed in eclipse workspace. The
plugins had been tested with Galileo 3.5, 3.6

5. To build and deploy, the cdk wrapper plugins can be built and deployed as
individual jars, however the cdk-core plugin must be built and deployed
unjarred.

6. In order to test new cdk-distributions, similar wrapper plugins to be
built and extension point to be used to publish jars. To understand the
wirings, plugin.xmls from *teiid-6.1.0-cdk-dist *and *
teiid-6.2.0-M3-cdk-dist* to be compared. All the jar paths are relative to
the sdk directory location specified through the extension point.

7. Project names are converted to lowercase and prepended with the word
"connector-"; so the project name, LoopBack, will be converted to
"connector-loopback". Any new project with the same name loopback (case
insensitive) cannot be furthur created.

8. Errors are currently logged using eclipse infrastructure. Most of the
common project creation errors are handled.

9. Presently the following features are not available:
- Maven container integration : The project currently cannot be built as a
maven project; however the maven directory structure exist with necessary
project setting for proper compilation in eclipse
- CDK Preference
