> DB-Driver: Add option to automaticly install driver from external source
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-170
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-170
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: db - Code
> Reporter: Matthias Bläsing
> Priority: Major
>
> With the transition to the apache foundation it gets more difficult to bundle
> arbitrary libraries.
> In this case the libraries are JDBC drivers. For example the mysql JDBC
> driver had to be removed from distribution as the apache foundation won't
> redistribute binaries with licenses more restrictive, that the ALv2.
> With only one remaining bundle driver (postgresql) the bundled functionality
> is mostly useless. So the process need to be improved: A rough outline:
> - add a driver template mechanism to netbeans
> - a driver template holds the information about a driver and the source
> - applying the template would request the user if he wants to download the
> driver and requires the user to agree that the driver is not covered by the
> same license as netbeans itself
> - the downloaded jars will be placed in the userdir and the drivers reference
> these
> The primary source for the drivers should be maven central, as many vendors
> (including non-OSS) drivers are are present there:
> ||DB||URL||
> |MySQL|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cmysql%7Cmysql-connector-java%7C8.0.8-dmr%7Cjar]|
> |MariaDB|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.mariadb.jdbc%7Cmariadb-java-client%7C2.2.0%7Cjar]|
> |PostgresSQL|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.postgresql%7Cpostgresql%7C42.1.4%7Cbundle]|
> |H2|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.h2database%7Ch2%7C1.4.196%7Cjar]|
> |Derby|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.apache.derby%7Cderby%7C10.14.1.0%7Cjar]|
> |MSSQL|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.microsoft.sqlserver%7Cmssql-jdbc%7C6.2.2.jre8%7Cjar]|
> |Informix|[http://www.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.ibm.informix%7Cjdbc%7C4.10.9%7Cjar]|
> For the maven based installers the license information can be extracted from
> the pom.xml and displayed to the user when installing other sources will need
> different approaches.
