> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.1.1.0

> Using Class.forName("<driver name>").newInstance() is the recommended way to
> load and instantiate the JDBC driver, but the documentation does not contain
> the .newInstance() part.
> Pointers:
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/devguide/cdevdvlp40653.html
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/rrefjdbc32052.html
> The EmbeddedDriver javadoc mentions it:
> "The JDBC specification recommends the Class.ForName method without the
> .newInstance() method call, but adding the newInstance() guarantees that
> Derby will be booted on any Java Virtual Machine."
