Thanks Christian, I've tried with an old driver (3.00) and later with
the latest version (3.70) from 1), installed it and copied all jar's
to JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext. The ext folder now contains the following
jars: ifxjdbc.jar  ifxjdbcx.jar  ifxlang.jar  ifxlsupp.jar
ifxsqlj.jar  ifxtools.jar

Unfortunately that didn't seem to work as the IfxDriver is still not
shown in the driver class dropdown box..

I've tried with Java 1.7 and 1.6 and also added
META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver to the jars in case they are needed
for the discovery through DriverManager.getDrivers. But that didn't
worked either. Any other ideas?
