[teiid-dev] Teiid Eclipse Plugin

[Ramesh Reddy]

Sanjay,

No, Teiid do not have tools currently to produce the templates. Look in
the "connector-api" project's "org.teiid.connector.api" package to see
the interface classes. Also, "org.teiid.connector.basic" package
provides the base class implementations of these interfaces. The
generated ones should extend the from basic and override certain
methods.

connector-loopback may be the simplest to see what are must have classes
to generate to provide a simple "hello world" kind of connector. 

connector-jdbc would be other extreme as to what we can do. 

The idea here somebody is trying to write these connectors, and we are
providing a development environment for them. 

Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Ramesh..
