Just create a new Data Source and use the "Manage Drivers..." button.
The Driver-JARs can be located anywhere in your file system.
Placing the drivers in
plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.5.1 is only neccessary
when running BIRT in an application server environment and when you are
not using JNDI provided connections.
