When I looked into that class last night I found that it's not going to work for me without substantial change because its very JDBC specific. My importers don't set the same binding properties as the JDBC importer, and don't have to edit classpaths and such. It seems to me that the ConfigurationManager is really the right abstraction for what I need. It allows me to find the right connector type and set any values I want on it. Each of my importers has different values to set in the bindings. Is there some reason that we can't leave ConfigurationManager as the public API (assuming that it might change in this release because of the JCA changes)? John, for now you may want to just comment out all the code that touches the dqp-related stuff until we get a chance to go in and fix that code to work with the new admin api changes for 7.0. Ultimately, you're probably going to have to mimic what the JDBC importer does, which is use the Eclipse extension mechanism to load a class reflectively that deals with connection bindings, thus eliminating a hard dependency.

JDBCImportPostProcessor. That class, whatever you call it, would give you the "right abstraction" and would need to be provided in a separate plug-in that is part of our newly proposed "Designer runtime" feature (i don't know what we're going to call it yet). The reason I mention just commenting the code out for now is because I doubt if this class will still be called "ConfigurationManager" after all the changes, and even the "dqp" plug-ins may end up changing names. But what to address now vs. later is obviously up t! o you.
