Hi Sven,

When MCF is built, two entirely distinct versions of the examples are created 
-- a standard version, and a "proprietary" version.  The proprietary version 
does not in general include any proprietary jars and leaves connectors that 
depend on them disabled in the connectors.xml file.  The proprietary version is 
not included in the shipping binary.  If you want everything to automatically 
be put together for you and you rely on proprietary jars you will need to build 
yourself.

However, it's easy to add root-level proprietary jars to the non-proprietary 
binary.  The start options in the examples directories all include references 
to  root-level proprietary jars; you just have to add your JDBC driver to those 
options files and you should be good to go.

Hi there,

I'm trying to get the JDBC-Connector to work with the provided example. Target 
database is MSSQL. The JDBC-Connector seems to be registered successfully.

But every time I configure the JDBC-Connector via web-interface, the 
connection-status shows "Threw exception: 'Driver class not found: 
net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver'"

While several sources (including Manifold-Website) state that third party 
libraries are required to BUILD the connectors, I have downloaded the binary 
version and I thought there was no need to build anything there. (Am I wrong?)

So do I have to put a required jar-file within the folders somewhere? I tried 
several jtds-jars in several folders with no luck. I simply want to test an 
sql-connection with manifold within the example.
