   2. The connector must also include SPI registration.

   3. Optional quick app for standalone connector testing

3. Build Process

   1. Build connectors using: mvn clean install

   2. Use the build script (./build-csp-sdk.sh) to generate the assembly JAR.

4. Testing

   1. Connectors can be tested using:

      1. csp-api unified testing API

      2. standalone connector quick application

5. Adding a New Connector

   1. Create a new module

   2. Implement the required connector contracts

   3. Add the SPI registration file

   4. Add the module and dependencies to:
