> It sounds a good idea to me! In which form would you plan to add that? Thanks. I was thinking about a CLI utility, in a module within the project. The usage would look like this: ```camel-kafka-connector bootstrap --connector sjms2 --target-dir /path/to/kafka/connect``` It would have 2 additional arguments: ``` --download-host: to allow choosing the host from where to download the files --override-property: to allow the user to override a setting ``` We already have the list of configurations in the connector config files ([example](https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/master/connectors/camel-activemq-kafka-connector/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/activemq/CamelActivemqSinkConnectorConfig.java)). It's not clear to me yet, how to handle generating the configuration. I think there are 2 options: 1. We could simply generate a configuration file with all the settings. 2. We could generate a configuration file w/ only the required settings. Option 1 is significantly easier, although the configuration file would be much larger than our examples. Option 2 is more complicated and we would probably need to come up with a mechanism to highlight what is required and what is not. IMHO, I think we could stick w/ option 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
