[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2636?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] John Spencer commented on FORGE-2636: ------------------------------------- I'm having trouble connecting to the db you provided, if I try: cd ~/Downloads/sakila-h2-master forge project-new --named sample-project jpa-setup jpa-generate-entities-from-tables -jdbc-url jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/sakila.h2.db --driver-location ~/sakila-h2-master/h2-1.4.192.jar --driver-class org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect For some reason forge assumes ~/sakila-h2-master/h2-1.4.192.jar=/home/myUser/Downloads/sakila-h2-master/~/sakila-h2-master/h2-1.4.192.jar' * Driver Location (The location of the jar file that contains the JDBC driver) [/home/myUser/Downloads/sakila-h2-master/~/sakila-h2-master/h2-1.4.192.jar]: And I get: ***ERROR*** The location '/home/myUser/Downloads/sakila-h2-master/~/sakila-h2-master/h2-1.4.192.jar' does not exist ***ERROR*** Driver Class must be specified. However if remove the ~ and just assume my working directory will be added to the path: jpa-generate-entities-from-tables -jdbc-url sakila.h2.db --driver-location h2-1.4.192.jar --driver-class org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect I get: ***ERROR*** Could not connect to database: JDBC URL [sakila.h2.db] is not compatible with the selected driver [org.h2.Driver]. So instead if I use: jpa-generate-entities-from-tables -jdbc-url jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/sakila.h2.db --driver-location h2-1.4.192.jar --driver-class org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect I get: ***ERROR*** Could not connect to database: Connection refused -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
