Hi Emre, Thanks for your proposal. It looks very interesting! Please pay attention that most connectors have been externalized. Will your proposed plug be used for building Flink Connectors or Flink itself? Furthermore, it would be great if you could elaborate features wrt best practices so that we could understand how the plugin will help us.
Afaik, FLIP is recommended for improvement ideas that will change public APIs. I am not sure if a new maven plugin belongs to it.
