[Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application

Question

Hi
I installed Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8, and am trying to connect to my Oracle database using the attached tutorial code.
The code compiles fine, but I get the following error whenever I run the file: [Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application
I don't understand what is happening.
Using the Runtime navigation panel on the upper left of the IDE screen, I can right-click and connect to the database, and navigate database files, using the Oracle JDBC Driver that came with JSE8.
Name: Oracle Driver
Driver: com.sun.sql.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
Database URL: jdbc:sun:oracle://JAZZPUP:1521;SID=REPO
If the driver is installed, and can be used to connect to a database by right-clicking on the database definition in the Runtime panel, why can't I connect to it just using java code in the IDE. I would expect both methods to work or to fail, not one of each using the same IDE.
Many thanks and take care,
Shayne

There are two similar threads:

To summarize - the DataDirectDriver that is shipped with the IDE seems to be locked to be used inside the IDE only because of some licensing issues etc..
That's weird, I agree. I will raise a question on reasons for such a behavior.
The solution would be to use Oracle's own driver, that is distributed at no charge from their web site - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
