Absolutely right! "connector-api" project is the only project that
client depends upon. "connector-api" depends upon the "teidd-core"
that's it.

Sanjay was looking at CDK project, that brings the test environment it
depends upon the other projects, if we are not going to use this they
are not needed.

For unit tests I am OK if the user uses the Mock objects to test the
connector. However, we are thinking of providing a way in eclipse
development to deploy and test a connector in Phase 2. This will be same
as deploying a connector to a actual Teiid runime. Currently CDK
provides this, but thinking ahead with JCA project, this needs to be
re-thought if need this kind of environment for testing as Teiid
embedded already provides such environment for somebody to run
"integration" level tests.
