<p>Testing connectors can be challenging because Pulsar IO connectors interact with two systems
that may be difficult to mock—Pulsar and the system to which the connector is connecting.</p>
<p>It is
recommended writing special tests to test the connector functionalities as below
while mocking the external service.</p>

<p>An alternative approach is to create an <strong>uber JAR</strong> that contains all of the connector's JAR files
and other resource files. No directory internal structure is necessary.</p>
<p>You can use <a href="https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/includes-excludes.html">maven-shade-plugin</a> to create a uber JAR as below:</p>
