How can I get started to build a custom Java source connector in airbyte?

Hi,

I am looking for some tutorial on how to build a custom Java source connector in airbyte. But the information from the airbyte site is very limited.

I have an existing SAP extractor built in Java. I am wondering how much effort required for me to convert this Java extractor into a source connector in airbyte.

Thank you so much.

Hello @jwu right now Airbyte have some good base connectors in Java using JDBC drivers. If your source will use the JDBC driver probably you can use source-postgres to start the implementation of your new source. If the source doesn’t use JDBC driver I recommend to you use the Airbyte CDK in Python.
