Mars has broken existing JDBC Oracle connections [message #1701398]

Hi all,

I've upgraded to Eclipse Mars - but loading the current workspace (I told it to upgrade from Luna for compatibility) has broken the JDBC Oracle connection.

The only settings that may have changed are my machine's Java version. Windows 8.1 has caused me no end of bother recently by having multiple Java installations and being fussy interacting with both 64 and 32 bit versions. I got round this with Luna by forcing a path to v7 in eclipse.ini, but v6 is installed "as default" according to the control panel info. However, both 7 and 8 are supposedly installed.

Using the new Eclipse installer, it was happy to function using the newest version of Java, but I don't think the binary app is reading it.

Error fairly standard from Java - when testing connection
"Cannot load JDBC Driver class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDrvier."

Nothing has changed with the native Oracle instant client.

Posted in both Eclipse and BIRT forums as it's BIRT I'm using.

Any thoughts or more info needed?

Thanks
