[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-143: ------------------------------------ The requirements are 1) It must be discoverable, should be able define them without modifications to other parts of system 2) Prefer to inherit common properties, so that the all connector specific properties can be defined in one place 3) Should be able to load dependent jars in non-delegating class loader 4) Should be able to define the third party dependencies externally to the artifact (CAF includes them, but should have option to specify externally, if needed) 5) Preferably single artifact (Like CAF) The comment above in one solution, where CAF file includes the type information and all the necessary jars. But this does not satisfy (4). We could additionally support ".cdk" files in a directory along with their dependencies to support the item (4). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
