James Carman commented on KARAF-1545:
-------------------------------------
I don't like the idea of having to muck with the CLASSPATH environment
variable. Nobody really does that anymore, do they? Perhaps adding a new
folder "third-party" in the lib directory and put that README in there? That
wouldn't change the functionality, really. It would only break anyone who put
a third-party folder in their lib directory manually.

> I was trying to configure JDBC fail-over, so I put my mysql driver jar in the
> KARAF_HOME/lib directory. I kept getting ClassNotFoundExceptions. On the
> advice of someone on IRC, I changed the name to
> "karaf-mysql-connector-java.jar" and it started working. Why the karaf-
> prefix requirement? If that's the intended behavior, then please update the
> README file in the lib directory. It says:
> "Any jar in this folder will be part of the main classloader used to load
> Karaf."
