Sanjay,
The "teiid-connector-sdk" provides a "execution" environment for a
connector during development of a connector. Based on the road map we
may not want to use this at all, and directly use the Teiid runtime to
test a connector.
So, no to using cdk/lib. Yes, to use the "jars" directly. To start with
you can make it as user's responsibility to add this. If you want to get
this automated, then we can think of making this a "maven" based
project, and just provide the dependencies in "pom.xml" and then they
will be downloaded from JBoss maven repository automatically, as all
these libraries will be available though maven repository.
Also note "teiid-connector-sdk-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" is only currently
used for unit tests. The developer who is working with your plugin may
not have the Teiid source at all, all he got is your plugin and a
document and he needs to build and test connector.
Thanks. Good questions keep em coming.
Ramesh..

Hi Ramesh,
Can you please let me know the jars would contain the following
classes ?
org.teiid.dqp.internal.datamgr.impl.FakeExecutionContextImpl
com.metamatrix.core.util.UnitTestUtil
com.metamatrix.query.metadata.QueryMetadataInterface
com.metamatrix.query.unittest.FakeMetadataFacade
com.metamatrix.query.unittest.FakeMetadataFactory
com.metamatrix.query.unittest.FakeMetadataObject
com.metamatrix.query.unittest.FakeMetadataStore
As part of the CDK classpath, do I take all the jars from the cdk/lib
directory or just use teiid-connector-sdk-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and
teiid-engine-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar &
teiid-connector-api-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ? Also
teiid-connector-api-6.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar is in the teiid distribution
package and not in cdk/lib directory of the cdk kit. This kind of
defeats my plan to use the cdk kit as-is to register as a contributor
sdk with version through extension point unless I manually copy it and
make it a distribution. Using cdk kit as-is would facilitate choosing
any version of cdk from more than one avaiable versions at runtime.
Thanks
Sanjay

Sure, the directory is what prescribed by the Maven build
process.
Although there is no requirement for us to provide the build
process in
Maven this will help if one needs to move in that direction.
Thanks
