Other JDBC drivers which could be included, with Apache-compatible licenses: * Microsoft SQL Server: https://github.com/Microsoft/mssql-jdbc/tree/v6.5.2 * SQLite: https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/tree/3.23.1 The MySQL/MariaDB ones are GPL/LGPL and so can’t be bundled, unfortunately. I’d still say it would be worth bundling PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite. — Eirik On 5/29/18, 9:16 AM, "Glenn Holmer" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On 05/27/2018 02:21 PM, Matthias Bläsing wrote: Hey Glenn, Am Montag, den 23.04.2018, 06:22 -0500 schrieb Glenn Holmer: The Postgres driver shipped with NetBeans is several years old. Any chance that could be updated for 9.0? I'm not sure when I'll have time to look at this. I doubt, that it will make it into Netbeans 9.0. I opened NETBEANS-870 to track this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-870 >From my POV this might be a good issue to work on as an outsider. What needs to be done: - get an updated driver - check the license - update the db.drivers module with the new binary and updated license - get it reviewed and merged If anyone wants to do it, I'll review. I'd like to work on this. I'll have lots of questions, but I want to learn the NetBeans internals. I'm studying "NetBeans Platform for Beginners" and the API docs on netbeans.org. I had a look at NETBEANS-170 (referenced by 870): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-170 If Postgres is the last driver still bundled with NetBeans, are the above steps even worth the effort? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
