Kim Haase commented on DERBY-6459:
----------------------------------
In view of the fixes for DERBY-6256, I think I should file a modified patch
with a README.html file that contains changes corresponding to those made in
the README file in that issue. Please stay tuned before reviewing.
> Remove Class.forName calls that load JDBC driver from Derby samples/demos
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DERBY-6459
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6459
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Demos/Scripts
> Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
> Reporter: Kim Haase
> Assignee: Kim Haase

>
> Several of the Derby samples and demos call Class.forName to load the JDBC
> driver, although this is not necessary at Java SE 6 and later. Since at 10.11
> we won't support versions of the platform earlier than JDK 6, these calls
> should be removed from the samples (and any mention of them removed from the
> accompanying documentation).
> There are calls to Class.forName that load other objects besides the driver;
> I assume these are still needed, but if not, they could be replaced with
> something more current.
