Thanks for feedback. Password encoding is a more distant thing to happen, for start it can be simply moved to runtime out of the modeler. But looking at the recent discussion [1] I think we need to redesign this part.
As for dbpc2,if it is a requirement it can be replaced by one line of meaningful code in runtime (it is what our code essentially do) : org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory.createDataSource(properties); If we keep dbcp2, then for consistency we should provide wrappers for all other popular connection pools (and/or custom datasource providers). And that will lead to great support effort, that we can't handle effectively, I think. For me it seems better to document how to create custom data source and give some examples, instead of trying to guess what will be needed by users.
