Brian Fitzpatrick commented on JBDS-1600:
-----------------------------------------

Hey Peter - Unfortunately that's part of the Eclipse Data Tools Project (DTP) that we rely on for many of our database connectivity bits in JBoss Tools/JBDS. And yes, there are definite usability issues with the model used in DTP at times. 

But here's the thing... I'm on the DTP team at Eclipse and we don't have the people to fix the problem. So though this is a gotcha, it's upstream from JBDS. 

I've gone ahead and created https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=339256 to track this on the DTP side, but odds are it won't get fixed soon.

> When adding a driver, for instance mySQL, to JBDS, the dialog puts a wrong reference to the JAR file which needs to be corrected by the user.
> If there's no automatic way to detect the location my the driver file, I suggest changing the dialog so the user is told to locate the file instead of hiding the option and having the user correct auto-generated material.
