Hey David! It's the former actually. Just a zip file with some plug-in metadata and a the SQLite JDBC files. Nothing fancy. I just think it would be easier for Eclipse developers to just download that, plop it into their Eclipse installation, and run with it. It's pretty easy.
I have hit a few odds and ends with the driver actually. Because of the way we load our model in DTP, I had to dummy up a schema to keep it happy (which is fine). I also had to work around the lack of foreign key support in the driver (by basically just ignoring the foreign keys at this point). But other than that it was very straightforward. Let me get a bit further with the code and I'll ping you once I have a version of the wrapper I can send you. Does that sound like a plan?
