Packaging Connectors

Learn how to package your connector. Packaging is the process of compiling and preparing your connector for release.

You can package your connector via the UI or the terminal.

Package Connectors via the UI

Open your IDE and go to Connector Builder - Editor.
Click Build Project.

If the build completes successfully, a success message appears. If the build doesn’t complete successfully, an error message appears. In either case, you can click View output to review the output.

Package Connectors via the Terminal

Open your IDE and ensure that you have opened the root folder of your connector project.

If necessary, go to File > Open Folder and select the appropriate folder. The Explorer view should display top-level items. Make sure you aren’t inside the connectivity-model or anypoint-connector-model subfolders.
Go to Terminal > New Terminal.
In the terminal, run this command:
```
mvn clean package
```

Wait for the build process to complete. If the build completes successfully, an output similar to this appears:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Summary for <your-connector-name> <version>:
[INFO]
[INFO] <your-connector-name> .............................. SUCCESS [  x.xxx s]
[INFO] <your-connector-name>-connectivity-model ........... SUCCESS [  x.xxx s]
[INFO] <your-connector-name>-flow-connector-model ......... SUCCESS [  x.xxx s]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time:  x.xxx s
[INFO] Finished at: <timestamp>
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The names, numbers, and timestamps in the output will vary. The key indicator of a successful build is the line: BUILD SUCCESS.

If you don’t see BUILD SUCCESS, the build didn’t complete successfully. In this case, review the errors in the terminal output.
