Mark Drilling commented on JBDS-2852:
-------------------------------------

Right, in teiid designer we currently use the teiid admin api for our server interaction.  Part of that is data source management - along with a lot of other teiid-specific operations.  The teiid interface is here if interested - https://github.com/teiid/teiid/blob/master/admin/src/main/java/org/teiid/adminapi/Admin.java  .

> Connecting to a database from within JBDS/Eclipse is a multi-step, multi-screen, potentially error-prone challenge.    
> Forge is involved as it can generate entities from schema
> Datasources are needed in/on AS/Wildfly/EAP in order for the project deploy
> Persistence.xml may needed to be tweaked for the datasource
> End-user would like to navigate the schema in the DTP/Hibernate Tools, interactively review the data and there was once a feature for viewing an ORM diagram that I seem to have forgotten how it is displayed.
> What happens when a project that needs a database connection is imported into the IDE? 
> This was partially addressed with
> https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15263
> Let's see if we can continue to improve the workflow by reducing steps, making it more obvious what steps are required (e.g. hey developer, get the mysql driver .jar), auto generating the -ds.xml, with a decent explanation for the end-user to follow.
