Sorry Ed, I thought eclipse.modeling was the "new" emf newsgroup.
A full jdbc uri looks like:
jdbc:db2://host:port/db_name
or
jdbc:mysql://host:port/db_name
As a side note, I'm currently using a URI that looks like:
jdbc_db2://host:port/db_name?table=TABLE_NAME,key=PRIMARY_KE Y_COLUNM
and my custom URI converter changes the '_' to a ':' and strips off the
query before opening the jdbc connection.

Bryan,
Some people think EMF == Modeling, but that's not the case! (I'm sure
Rich will chuckle now.) I've resisted closing the old newsgroup and
creating a new one because I'd lose the whole history of tens of
thousands of questions and answers (except for archives that no one
would think to search). Maybe eventually we'll have time to figure out
how to copy and rename a newsgroup...
Unfortunately, this ends up being a non-hierarchical URI. The RFC is
quite clear on the need for a "/" after the ":" to make a URI
hierarchical, so it's unfortunate that so many URI-based designs were
based on a poor understanding of the RFC... :-( Even Eclipse's
platform scheme, though avoiding this flaw, would have been more
consistent if it had been of the form platform://resource/... making it
clear that the "resource" is the authority, and what follows is a path
within that authority. Oh well, water under the bridge...

Yes, I realize now that I'm trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
Even my "trick" of using jdbc_db2 doesn't work when you use
java.net.URI. I've refined my trick and now I'm using the form:
jdbc://db2@host:port/db_name?query
so that I don't have to do the parsing myself. From there, it's
relatively easy to convert the hierarichal URI into the
non-hierarchical URI that JDBC needs.

Bryan,
This sounds like an EMF specific question best asked on the EMF
newsgroup, which I've added to the "to" list of the reply, although I'm
sure I've seen you ask questions before. :-)
EMF's URI implementation is simply enforcing the URI RFC's rules.
Something like jdbc:db2 definitely isn't a scheme, it's a
non-hierarchical URI with scheme jdbc and opaque part db2. So it's a
valid URI, but the scheme is only the jdbc. What does a full such URI
look like?
