Description Petr Blaha 2006-08-03 19:21:03 UTC 
[build 200608010000]
I created a new datasource on the server for MySQL database. Then, I would like
to use this datasource for generation of entity classes in NetBeans. However,
when you choose this new datasource in new entity classes wizard I got 'Unable
to find driver'. 
I added the correct driver in Runtime tab -> databases -> Drivers and try again.
However, this doesn't help and connection to MySQL with the driver in NB had to
be created. After this, I was able to use datasource in wizard for generation of
entities.

User should be informed about required steps in the dialog when the connection
can't be established.

I'm sorry, I forgot for the previous issue. It interesting that only me and one
user encountered this bug. It seems, users don't use datasources from servers
that aren't already registered in NB.

I also experience this error. In my case this is the JayBird (FireBird) driver.
The interesting part is that this JDBC driver is included in the system 
CLASSPATH.

Is there a work around for this?
