Hi Karl, Using example-proprietary and not example did the trick. That was a bit embarrassing.
By the way (don't know if this belongs here or not) when compiling I had to point the alfredo-related things in build.xml from head to http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/COMMUNITYTAGS/V4.2c/root/projects/3rd-party/lib/ in order to find the jars to download. Thanks! Christian.

The procedure for building is: (1) ant make-core-deps (2) ant make-deps (3) ant build (4) cd dist/example-proprietary (5) <java> -jar start.jar Is this the process you are following? If not, can you try it this way? If this doesn't work for you, I'll need to do further research, but I won't be able to do that until later this evening. Karl The jtds version this was last tested with was jtds 1.2.2. On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 9:41 AM, Christian M.

No matter what I do I get a "Threw exception: 'Driver class not found: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver'" as connection status. I have tried building manifold locally and downloading the binary version but nothing seems to help. I have also tried to place the jtds.jar file in connector-lib , connector-lib-proprietary, example\lib , using jtds-1.3 , jtds-1.2 and the jtds.jar that ant make-deps gets for me. Both java 1.6.0_45 and 1.7.0_17 have been tried. All attempts have been made with the example application. The problem is on both Windows8 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Starting manifold and specifying jtds in the classpath directly doesn't help. The only time ManifoldCF acknowledged the existence of the Driver-class at all was when I used jtds-1.3.jar with java 1.6. Since jtds 1.3 requires java 7 I got an exception in the command window complaining about an unsupported class version: WARN org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler - /mcf-crawler-ui/viewconnection.jsp javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/sourceforge/jtds/jdbc/Driver : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 [....] at org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.connectors.jdbc.JDBCConnection$TestConnectionThread.run(JDBCConnection.java:233) The missing driver exception has not been seen in any logs so far. While looking for the class I installed visualvm and tried to look around. After restarting manifoldcf a heapdump shows no signs of jtds.jdbc.Driver , after viewing the jdbc-connector and getting a "driver class not found" exception a new heapdump shows jtds.jdbc.Driver , 1 instance and size 16. That is the closest I got to the class. I am now giving up and sorely need help. Regards, Christian.
