JDBC Driver problem when using JDeveloper 10.1.2 with JDK 1.4

Question

I hope someone can help me solve this problem (which I am sure others have encountered).
The JDK that is downloaded together with JDeveloper 10.1.2 is JDK 1.4.2. However, I believe the JDBC jar files that comes together with JDeveloper 10.1.2 are for JDK 1.2 : classes12.jar, classes12dms.jar and nls_charset12.
What I did was I replaced the JDeveloper 10.1.2 JDBC (JDK 1.2) jar files with the JDBC jar files from JDeveloper 10.1.3 download i.e. ocrs12.jar, ojdbc14.jar, ojdbc14dms.jar and orai18n.jar and then create a new JDBC Library which references these new jar files. I was able to successfully run my applications (under my modified JDeveloper 10.1.2) using this new JDBC library (instead of the original 'Oracle JDBC' library). However, when I created a Database Connection in this modified JDeveloper 10.1.2, the connection was unsuccessful. I received the error message "Unable to find driver: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver".
My organisation requires me to use JDK 1.4.2 and therefore I cannot use JDeveloper 10.1.3 (which I did not encounter any JDBC problem) as it is certified to run only on JDK 1.5.
Please help. Thanks.

JDev 10.1.2 is quite old, and was never certified for Windows 2008.
