JBuilder SchemaTool Integration

Question

Hi,
I'm having problems getting the SchemaTool integration with JBuilder to
work with a database driver other than the InstantDB or Hypersonic
drivers. I'm attempting to use the Oracle thin client JDBC drivers.
I added entries for classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip into the
KodoJDO.library file in the JBuilder7\lib directory, but this doesn't seem
to have any affect. When attempting to retrieve a list of classes in the
schema of the database, I get an exception that the driver wasn't found as
in the below. I'm able to get it to work from the command line...
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Marc,
Looks like JBuilder will only load .jar files and not .zip files. I was
using classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip so I changed their extensions to
jar and it works now...
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff-
Try putting the driver jars in JBuilder7\\lib\\ext\\ instead. I\'ve had no
problems connecting to other databases.
If that doesn\'t work, can you check to see if code that you write is
able to access the driver classes itself? You might also try to add the
jars to the project\'s required libraries preference.
If all else fails, try to add the driver jar files to JBuilder\'s
CLASSPATH in the startup batch file, but that really shouldn\'t be
necessary.
