Re: [jboss-user] [JBoss Tools] - Driver Definition/JDBC driver

If you are using the JPA project, hibernate tools project, etc, there is the, under Eclipse->preferences, the Data Management->Connectivity section that lists all jdbc.jar's loaded into the system and the jdbc-url templates ready to go. Once the Data Management/connectivity is setup with those jdbc.jar/templates, all the other tools can now use those references.  Using your words -- "expose a driver jar in a plug-in and create a driver template that automatically picks up the jar in the plug-in and pre-populates" What I am looking for, whether with DTP or some other plugin, is a way to get all those jdbc.jar's setup, templates setup, exposed through Data Management->Connectivity through some type of plugin approach instead of always browsing through the filesystem to setup the jars. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/552171#552171] Start a new discussion in JBoss Tools at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
