[teiid-announce] Pre-release 6.0.0 SNAPSHOT available

[Barry Lafond]

All,

Yesterday we released a second pre-release SNAPSHOT of 6.0.0 Teiid Designer for download at:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=253052&package_id=309742

This SNAPSHOT provides full functionality of Designer's Preview Data feature as well as delivering native JDBC driver templates to assist in quickly getting you set up to import your source schema for model creation.  All you'll need to provide are the driver jar's themselves.

In addition, we've added a Connector Class Path Editor which assists in managing your driver jars. This addresses difficulties encountered with the first pre-release Designer. (See:  http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13476 )

Note that the following primary features are not yet fully functional due to Extension metamodel problems incurred as a result of our EMF upgrade from version 2.1 to 2.4.
 - Extension model creation and editing
 - Web Service as Relational Source Model importer
 - XML Schema as Relational Source Model importer
 - Salesforce as Relational Source Model importer
