Hey all,
Carry over from this post: https://community.jboss.org/message/552408

Getting into some DTP specific talk, so taking it to this list! :)


My intent is to find a way to have 'portable' jdbc driver support in the Eclipse Preferences->DataManagement->Connectivity->Driver Definition section (i.e. not require file-system setup of the jdbc jars). These are for the mysql, ms-sql (whether jtds or sqljdbc.jar, depending on project), postgres, etc.

Fitz has helped out greatly to-date in the approach of using an eclipse plugin approach to provide the default jdbc jar and override the template to point to the plugin/jdbc jar location. Now at the point where getting the following errors:

for plugin name "com.mycompany.eclipse.jdbc.mysql", exporting as jar plugin to eclipse/plugins location, and using Driver Definition it says in the jarlist " [com.mycompany.eclipse.jdbc.mysql]/lib/mysql-connector-java- 5.1.6.jar "

ERROR: "File com.mycompany.eclipse.jdbc.mysql/lib/mysql-connector-java-5. 1.6.jar missing while setting up default driver definitions"

I've tried making this both as an eclipse plugin, and an OSGI:Equinox plugin, but behaving the same.


MANIFEST.MF (abbreviated)
==============================
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.mycompany.eclipse.jdbc.mysql;singleton:=true
Bundle-Version: 5.1.6
Bundle-Vendor: mycompany
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: J2SE-1.5
Import-Package: org.osgi.framework;version="1.3.0"
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.ui.ide,
org.eclipse.core.resources
Bundle-ClassPath: lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar,
.
===============================


plugin.xml
===========================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.driverExtension">
<driverTemplateOverride
createDefault="true"
jarList=" [com.mycompany.eclipse.jdbc.mysql]/lib/mysql-connector-java- 5.1.6.jar "
priority="1"
targetId="org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.mysql.5_1.driverTemplate ">
</driverTemplateOverride>
</extension>

</plugin>
===========================

build.properties
===========================
source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = META-INF/,\
.,\
plugin.xml,\
lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar
===========================


Thanks, it feels sooo close!

((note: there are no extra spaces in the actual implementation, even though it may display as such)).

Did you try flipping the slashes the other way? I hate to say it, but
that code may be slash stupid. :(

I'm on Linux, so I can't try it right now.
