Early Adopter Release 2: Change in how TNS connections saved?

Question

I was using EAR 1 happily, having created my connections as TNS Alias.
On switching to EAR 2 (fresh install - completely removed EAR 1 before installing 2 and did not attempt to transfer any connection info from 1 to 2), I can create a TNS Alias connection and connect.
However, when I close Raptor and start it again, the connection no longer works - it has switched to a TNS Connection Identifier, rather than a TNS Alias. When I try to connect I get "Status : Failure -no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path".
If I then switch the connection back to TNS Alias (and reselect the alias) I can connect fine. Unfortunately, when I restart Raptor I go through the same thing again.
As I didn't have the problem in EAR 1, I have no idea of how Raptor saved my TNS Alias connection, although from memory the connection details were <user>@<TNS alias>, but I couldn't be sure.
Looking at my IDEConnections.xml, it has saved the connection with the URL and Connection Type lines like:
<URL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@ TNS connection identifier information </URL>
<ConnectionType>JDBC</ConnectionType>
If we create the connection as TNS Alias, shouldn't it save it as that?
I don't have the problem if I set up the connection on the Basic tab and don't go to the TNS tab.

Answer 1

Out of curiosity, I have just gone back to build 715 to see what it did with the connection I created as a TNS Alias. It was converting it to a basic connection (looking at the details behind the TNS alias and getting the Host, Port and SID) rather than saving it as a TNS connection.
In 796/804 Raptor is converting the TNS Alias to the corresponding Connection description.
As an example:
TNSNAMES.ORA file contains:
myalias =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = mymachine)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSID)
Build 0715 saved this as a Basic connection with:
Hostname = mymachine
Port = 1521
SID = MYSID
Build 0796 / 0804 saved this as a TNS Connection Identifier of (which includes all of the white space from the tns names file, just not the line breaks):
(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=mymachine)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MYSID)) )
As I have said in another thread, ideally I would prefer the connection to be saved as a TNS Alias of "myalias". If I had to choose between 0715 or 0796/0804 functionality, I would choose 0715 functionality, as that works on my machine. I assume the new functionality not working is based on which Oracle client I have installed and which products are installed as part of that client.
