Freeman Fang commented on KARAF-1545:
-------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm also a little bit concerned about this change.
IMO the jars in KARAF_HOME/lib which could get loaded by default should be
only those that do very fundamental karaf bootstrap work, any other libs
should be installed and managed as OSGi bundle(including the JDBC driver)
Or for example in KARAF_HOME/lib folder we also have
org.apache.servicemix.specs.activator.jar since Karaf 2.3.x(used for endorsed
specs), this isn't added in the current Karaf launch script CLASSPATH, we build
a URLClassLoader to load it in org.apache.karaf.main.Main.

> 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."
