[teiid-dev] 6.0.0 Release Activity

[Steven Hawkins]

Due to the project renaming and a desire to further refine and stabilize extension APIs, the 6.0.0 release date was pushed 3/20.   

JDBC Connector Changes:
The JDBC connector is also being transformed to more easily enable custom connectors.  The changes so far aggregate existing extension logic onto a single base class Translator (incorporates over for SQLTranslator, ResultsTranslator, custom SQLConversionVisitor, ValueTranslator, etc.).  The connection factory and identity management facilities are also being changes so that they are independent.

Open for discussion:
For our new connector api, and other extension points I believe we should repackage to something other than com.metamatrix.  The options are org.teiid and org.jboss.teiid.  I am in favor of using just org.teiid, any objections?
