Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-2165:
---------------------------------------

Yes, the documentation refers to both the term connector and resource adapter.  The full proper name would be "J2EE Connector Architecture Resource Adapter", or its sometimes shown as "J2EE Connector Resource Adapter".  Since MetaMatrix previously used "connector" it was easier to just to carry forward the short-hand term connector. 

It looks like the common convention for jboss is to use -ra.rar (which is redundant as rar implies a resource adapter).  So we could produce teiid-xxx-ra.rar files to be consistent within jboss, but since there's nothing explicitly wrong with using -connector.rar that would be a very low priority effort.

> Many of the connectors in the deploy directory are referred to as adapters (including in the description field of their META-INF/ra.xml files). And we are told in much of the documentation that the connector framework consists of translators and resource adapters. However, the connectors in the deploy/teiid/connectors directory are named teiid-connector-*.rar. I would like to suggest that these be renamed to teiid-adapter-*.rar for consistency. And that the eis-type field of their META-INF/ra.xml files also be changed accordingly.
