>
> 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.
