@laurit I don't see any auto instrumentation being added in the contrib repo for java packages/frameworks. Can you share any guide on what type of instrumentation goes to which repo(either java instrumentation or java contrib)?

[laurit]

@RashmiRam as far as I can tell conductor is not a framework that you'd include in your application but a standalone application. Instrumenting such applications requires deep understanding of what that application does and how it is used. Unfortunately the maintainers of this project are not able to dedicate enough time and effort to be able to maintain such instrumentation. This is why we suggest using the contrib repository instead.
