A plugin is an AWS resource that contains the code that defines your connector logic. You upload a JAR file (or a ZIP file that contains one or more JAR files) to an S3 bucket, and specify the location of the bucket when you create the plugin. When you create a connector, you specify the plugin that you want MSK Connect to use for it. The relationship of plugins to connectors is one-to-many: You can create one or more connectors from the same plugin.
For information on how to develop the code for a connector, see the Connector Development
Guide
