Eclipse plug-in error - driver not found error with DB2

Question

Hi,
i am using websphere studio developer and the kodo 3.0 implementation.
I have set up the kodo plug in and i get an error when i try to create the
database schema:
kodo.util.FatalDataStoreException: No suitable driver
It can't find the DB2 driver. This is the information I have in the kodo
properties:
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL: jdbc:db2:baokodo
The DB2 driver jar is in the kodo eclipse plugin directory and I am
referencing this jar file in the plugin xml file.

Answer 1

The plug in is finding the driver class but it does not like the driver
for some reason. It tells me no suitable driver found.
Here is my plugin.xml:

Can you post your plugin.xml? We have tested against WebSphere Studio 4

I am specifying a properties file in the preferences pane.
Still not sure why this doesn't work...
Have you been able to get it to work in websphere studio.

The plugin does not use any kodo.properties by default. You have to
configure it through the Preferences pane (which you can point to your
kodo.properties file)

It can't find the DB2 driver. This is the information I have in the kodo
properties:
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver

The DB2 driver jar is in the kodo eclipse plugin directory and I am
referencing this jar file in the plugin xml file.
