Yes this is not the right assumption. At development time you need to  
put them into the Java workspace and Eclipse. For deployment, you can  
distribute your plugin as a jar file which your users then only need  
to copy into their eclipse/dropins folder.

Assuming that the SQL queries are custom tailored (and cannot be  
expressed in terms of, say, a D2RQ mapping, then using Java code seems  
indeed to be the only solution. If you have TBC-ME you may want to  
look into SPARQLMotion as well, because then you could simply define a  
generic SPARQLMotion module for the SQL calls and use this in multiple  
places. We could probably add such a SQL module in general to the  
standard SM modules library later.
