Please confirm on the custom-jar instead of splited class files.
Making a jar will be some additional code, on top of the exporting a
rar with the required resources.
Yes, that is the way I see RAR files packaged
in JBoss AS.
Few other questions: 1. The other question I have is, will
compilation
errors prevent from building the rar or do I export with whatever I
get compiled ?
Should Fail, or not let them proceed.
2. Does the custom connector sources gets exported too as
connector-src.zip ?
No, we do not need to worry about the source files. User will
maintain
their sources in whatever form (CVS etc). If this connector is a
in-built connector from Teiid, then we would have converted this into
Teiid project using the maven build stuff, where it already knows how to
package the sources for re-distribution.
If yes, does it go inside the connector-custom.jar if we have one ?
If you want this can be a option, if at all we have a wizard where
somebody can click a check box. There is no restriction if you
place .java files in JAR in that case from RAR file format. It is like
any other JAR file.
The operation currently will be a right-click export; will not have
any wizards as of now atleast. The generated RAR will put on the root
of the current workspace project.
I think we have to give user a choice to browse
to a directory where
this can be created. As the user then needs to move this file into the
"runtime" container like JBoss AS where this can be deployed, or to
automate the deployment of connector from the plug-in you are writing.
