Creating a connector project in Eclipse

By creating a connector project, you assemble the source code, name the connector, and specify the location for the package. The Eclipse project is built with the correct file structure.

About this task

An Eclipse connector project contains source code and related files for building a connector.

Procedure

  1. In Eclipse, select File > New > Project….

    The New Project wizard opens.

  2. In the Wizards list, expand Boomi and select Connector Project.

  3. Click Next.

    The wizard advances to the New Connector Project screen.

  4. In the Connector name field, type the connector name — this is the name you should use for the connector group in your account. The connector name must contain only letters and start with an uppercase letter.

    As you type the connector name, the Project name field populates with the same input.

  5. Optional: To specify a different project name, type it in the Project name field.

  6. In the Package field, type the package name in accordance with your organization’s package naming standard — for example, com.connector. The package name must contain only letters and periods and start and end with a letter.

    New Boomi Connector Project dialog.

  7. Specify the location in which to save the project files. Do one of the following:

    • Accept the default location, your Eclipse workspace folder, by leaving Use default location on.

    • Specify a different location.

      1. Clear Use default location.

      2. Click Browse.

      3. In the Browse for Folder dialog, navigate to the desired folder and select it.

      4. Click OK.

  8. Turn on the check boxes for the operations for which to include template classes in the project — any or all of the following:

    • Get

    • Query

    • Create

    • Update

    • Upsert

    • Delete

    • Execute

  9. Click Finish.

    The wizard exits. Eclipse creates the project and builds the file structure. If you selected operations in step 8, the newly created Java source files include stubs for the corresponding methods.

    The new project file structure appears in Package Explorer. If you selected MyConnector as the connector name and project name, com.connector as the package, and the Get and Query operations, the following project file structure would appear in Package Explorer:
