Great work Paul!

> Designer devs) was
> preferred;
> 
> * The plugin should allow Designer to perform local sql parsing, resolving
> and validation of vdb
> models, as well as connecting/deploying/undeploying to all teiid instances at
> version 7.7+;
> 
> * A single plugin where 90% of the teiid client codebase is the same should
> be able to handle,
> with the help of annotations and version checks, the 10% of differences
> between teiid versions;
> 
> * Only where absolutely necessary should actual different classes be created
> that are teiid
> version-specific, eg. Teiid7Parser, Teiid8Parser;
> 
> Thus, the single plugin is backward compatible (but then most of teiid is
> already backward
> compatible!) but it should also be forward limiting in that validating teiid
> v8 sql syntax against
> a teiid v7 version should correctly fail.

> Currently, the plugin supports up to teiid v8.7.0.CR2 and will support
> 8.7.0.Final upon its

> builds to allow people to play with it / find bugs and otherwise spot
> whatevers bits I have missed.
