JDeveloper 2 and Oracle8i Lite

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to connect to an 8i Lite using the 8i Lite JDBC
driver in JDeveloper 2.0, but it keeps telling me that it can't
find the driver anywhere. The documentation says to add the JAR
files to the library. The location of the 8i Lite JAR files is
set in the CLASSPATH. Even if I add location of the JAR files
to the project library it doesn't seem to find it. Is there
anyone out there who can help me out?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

Hi
Oracle JDeveloper can use the driver which comes with Oracle8i
Lite to connect to the Oracle8i Lite database. To configure
Oracle JDeveloper to work with the Oracle8i Lite database:
1. Install JDeveloper.
2. Install Oracle8i Lite 4.0 or higher.
3. Launch JDeveloper.
4. Add a library for Oracle Lite by following these steps:
Choose the menu option Tools | Default Project Properties.
Click the Libraries button at the bottom of the dialog.
Click the New button on the lower right to add a new library.
Name the library Oracle8i Lite by typing in the Name field.
Add the path to the Oracle8i Lite driver by typing in the Class
Path field.
This should be a jar file called
<oracle_home>\lite\classes\olite40.jar, but
check the documentation for your version of Oracle Lite.
If you are using JDK1.1, you also need to add
<oracle_home>\lite\classes\oljdk11.jar to the Class path
Click OK to add the Library. JDeveloper analyses the dependencies
for the > driver and returns to the Default Project Properties
dialog.
Click Add to add Oracle Lite to the default project properties
for all future generated projects. Alternatively, you may add
the Oracle Lite driver on a project by project basis by
selecting Project | Project Properties
and adding the newly created library to the current project.
5. Quit JDeveloper.
6. Add the Oracle Lite jar file to the IDE Classpath by following
these steps:
Open the file <jdev_home>\bin\jdeveloper.ini.
Under the section [Java_Global], add the path of the Oracle Lite
drivers to the IDEClassPath. This should be jar files called
<oracle_home>\lite\classes\olite36.jar and
<oracle_home>\lite\classes\oljdk11.jar, but check the
documentation for your version of Oracle Lite.
7. Restart JDeveloper.
