There are a couple of things that I hit updating the connection_factories.json:

1. The objectmapper is not set to use a predictable order for the json, so it may vary by vm leading to needless file changes. We can just change the Main to add the sorted mapping feature.
2. The operator generation logic uses a settings.xml that does not specify snapshot access - if you do not locally build the teiid-spring-boot snapshot, then it will fail generation.
3. Even if you update the settings to have snapshot access, the generation logic must download nearly everything related to teiid-spring-boot. We could consider just running the generation step as part of the teiid-spring-boot build so that it is available as a single artifact.
4. The operator readme doesn't mention anything about running make generate (or related)
