Re: [dtp-dev] jdbc driver packaged as plugin

[Lawrence E Dunnell <ledunnel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm guessing that the connectivity layer
works similar to WTP and basically assumes that the jars are always external
to Eclipse and explicitly loads them into a classloader.   In this
case, since the jar list is empty, the classloader never loads the jars.
 The solution is to not export the driver packages and to create a
custom connection UI that populates the jar list by locating the jars in
the plug-in and providing the absolute path in the jar list.

Subject	[dtp-dev] jdbc driver packaged as plugin

Hi

I am trying to package JDBC driver as a separate plugin. The JDBC lib  
jar file is packaged in this plugin and the plugin.xml exports the  
packages as

Export-Package: oracle.jdbc,
oracle.jdbc.driver

and this plugin is consumed by other plugin as

Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.core.runtime,
oracle.dbtools.dtp.jdbc.driver

also have the following in plugin.xml

       <driverTemplate
             createDefault="true"
             emptyJarListIsOK="true"
-
-
/>

but when I try ping the db connection () it is resulting

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

Any thoughts ?

Anthos
