Adding Websphere Application Server V8.5 to possible WAS Connectors by simply copying the WAS 8 Connector and changing the following section in the POM:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere</groupId>
<artifactId>ws-admin-client</artifactId>
<version>8.5.0</version>
<scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${was_home}/runtimes/com.ibm.ws.admin.client_8.5.0.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

And Probably making a proper release out of it, so you don't have to compile it local.

Thanks
