Hi - I am trying to write a custom connector in Java.

I have downloaded the openconnector.zip file linked from the documentation and extended `AbstractConnector`, but when I attempt to execute the code I get `ClassNotFoundException: org.aspectj.lang.Signature`.

Adding in aspectjweaver as a dependency I then get `ClassNotFoundException: connector.common.logging.ConnectorTracingAspect`

I get this whether I use the jar supplied in the zip file or the contents of the _classes_ directory. The jar file does have some additional classes compared to the directory, including a couple of classes in the `connector.common.logging` package - just not `ConnectorTracingAspect`.

I’ve tried looking at examples [{1}](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/custom-connector-example/114230) [{2}](https://github.com/sailpoint-oss/connectors/tree/main/identityiq-connector) of custom connectors posted by others, but neither of these includes the openconnector libraries or points to an alternate source for them. I’ve tried looking on the Communities site too, but can’t see anything relevant other than a similar unanswered question from two years ago.

I feel as though I’m missing something. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
