[teiid-dev] Teiid Eclipse Plugin

[Sumanth P K]

Sanjay / Ramesh,
I just wanted to summarize what had been discussed so as to make sure that I
have understood properly:

1) We would have the CDK plugin have the necessary jars within it (possibly
till we start phase 2, as specified in the discussions, when we will have
more options to choose from).
2) The plugin would register a container similar to JUnit (it would have all
the jars bundled within the plugin available by default.).

If we are to enable the support of multiple versions of Connector-Api (and
hence multiple CDK plugins) at the same time:
A) We can have a container (similar to JRE, JUnit, GWT) defined for each
version and to differentiate between them have the container version
appended to the name of the container (something like TeiidCDK6.1,
TeiidCDK6.2 etc).
B) Or have it something like JUnit where by default one version is selected
and give the user the option to change it to another version.

The point to note here is that in either case the paths would be fixed (i.e.
within the corresponding plugins). The difference is in the number of
container entries available for the user (and the way the screens would
look).

Let me know the direction to proceed.

Thanks,
Sumanth.
