Hi Ramesh,
 
I had gone briefly through the connector development guide; did not seem to see any  direct java/dos command to generate the necessary template classes. It will be helpful if you can get me the skeleton classes/interfaces, which will get generated though the Eclipse wizard.
 
Under the extension directories I looked at the sources for some of these connector jars:
connector-ldap-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
connector-xml-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
connector-jdbc-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
connector-text-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
 
Thanks
 
Sanjay

Sumanth,

Welcome, thanks for your offer to contribute. We sincerely appreciate any help.

Currently Teiid does not mandate any coding guidelines, however there are few things we do follow. I try to put something simple put together very soon on WIKI. Usually we use the default code formatting comes with Eclipse install. I am thinking in the lines of
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JbpmCodingGuidelines
I will post to the dev-list in couple days, you are welcome to contribute.

The digest replying instructions are usually at the beginning of the digest message. It is no more than selecting the "reply all" and changing the subject line to the reflect the message you are replying to with "Re:" in the front. Please make sure that you include only sections of the message that you are replying to. Since Teiid is low volume list, you can turn off the digest otherwise.

Now coming to project, if you have any ideas about this tooling project, please let us know, we can discuss and make them part of the project if we all agree. I will let Sanjay answer if he needs any assistance with the work. Teiid has plenty of other tasks if you would like to contribute, both eclipse and non-eclipse related.

If you only want to do "eclipse" work,
1) we are in urgent need of Teiid integration with Eclipse DTP (data tools platform). Basically Teiid needs to another source, where somebody can connect to and issue queries against.
2) We can also use this in Phase 2 of CDK tooling project, where we can deploy connector to and issue queries aginst.
3)That could be expanded to tooling around the the "Connector Metadata" feature, where some one could define multiple sources in DTP and integrate them using Teiid.

We have ton of work on the non-eclipse side too, lot of issues are mentioned on the JIRA system. Submitting a patches is excellent way to contribute, take a look if anything interests you.

Let me know what interests you, then we can plan and discuss accordingly.

Thanks again.

Ramesh..

Subject: Teiid Eclipse Plugin


Sanjay / Ramesh,

I have been following the discussion regarding the requirements of Teiid CDK Plugin for Eclipse. I am interested in taking part in the process. Let me know what pieces I can start looking into and I can start the same. We may need to come up with some preliminary standards that everybody should follow (for example: naming conventions, exception handling to name a few), so that inconsistencies are avoided.

Ramesh - I know it has been quite a while since I had communicated to you regarding this. I have been going through the documents and have some idea on how things work. And I guess I am now better placed to understand the terms involved. To be honest the pace from my end had been slow, but I intend to devote more time to this from now onwards.

Also, I had subscribed to the Teiid message digest and hence can any of you please let me know how to reply to a specific mail in the digest. (I did not know how to do that and hence had to send this email separately.).

Thanks,
Sumanth.
