Andreas Pieber commented on KARAF-1545:
---------------------------------------
tbh I was always curious about the behavior that we only load karaf-*.jar files
from the lib directory. Would make more sense (imho) to load all jar files from
this dir.
>From the difficulty it would be
a) change the readme
b) load *.jar instead of karaf-*.jar
c) add a new folder for *.jar
I would rather tend to option (b) but I've no problem with getting over voted
:-)

> 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."
