My intent is to replace the CDK-DIST with your plugin distribution. The
user brings in "teiid-connector-api" and "teiid-core" into your plugin
however they grab hold of the jars or design the project as Maven
project, where maven would know to grab jar from here
http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/. automatically. I prefer the maven
approach.

This is nice, but that would make your plugin to bundle above jars
inside your distribution, or make available in a separate plug-in. Both,
IMO is better not to do, as they then tied to each other.
