[teiid-dev] Teiid Eclipse Plugin

[Sanjay Chaudhuri]

Sumanth,

Welcome aboard.

Like we discussed before for *Phase1, *I had chalked out few discreet steps
to get started:
a) Contribute a Connector application menu on Package Explorer and Navigator
b) Injection of connector libraries as system variables
c) Command handler to create Teiid Connector application with necessary
classpaths
d) Wizard for exporting project

I have started working with a) & c). If you like, you may take up (b) and
and then move on to (d) or if you would like to take up something else. Task
(b) would be more like Google or JUNIT's classpath getting automatically
embedded as a library.

Thanks

Sanjay
