Description clever 2005-09-30 03:42:11 UTC

To really get users focused on Netbeans being a complete package, I find that
common needs should be provided from the IDE's vendor. In this case, I would
like to see common JDBC connectivity drivers available as optional netbeans
modules. (Only the latest version, of course).

For instance:
MySQL
jTDS (for SQL Support)
Oracle JDBC

Hypersonic would be builtin. :0) Of course.

I'm just trying to make the product as easy to use and competitive as possile. 
Co-incidentally, I'm beta testing Visual Studio 2005..  

Cheers!

Netbeans comes bundled with mysql connector/j, postgresql and integrates javadb automaticly, when pointed to a javadb installation (checked with build from core-main). This should fix this bug.
