Description Jiri Skrivanek 2004-01-21 07:43:12 UTC 
To reproduce:

- add a driver in Runtime view, Database|Drivers node
- shutdown IDE
- physically remove driver jar or zip
- start IDE again
- look at Drivers node. The driver previously
added should be marked as invalid.
- try to connect to a database and the following
message is arisen:

The class ... was not found. Place the relevant
driver package into your $IDE_HOME/lib/ext folder
and restart the IDE.

It should be either updated or it should not be
allowed to start making a connection on invalid
driver node.

Tested in build 20040121-0422, JDK1.4.2_03, WindowsXP.
Comment 1 Radko Najman 2004-01-30 13:58:44 UTC 
Fixed.
If the driver file is not available, crossed icon is shown and the
driver is not listed in new connection dialog.
Comment 2 Jiri Skrivanek 2004-02-02 12:55:39 UTC 
But if the connection node already exists in IDE, you get the error
with "...lib/ext" message. Please, change the message or logic to not
confuse the user.
Comment 3 Radko Najman 2004-02-02 13:02:13 UTC 
I'm aware of that. The message needs to be modified. It's on my task list.
Comment 4 Radko Najman 2004-02-02 18:02:32 UTC 
lib/ext message rewritten.
Comment 5 Jiri Skrivanek 2004-02-03 11:48:46 UTC 
Verified in build 20040203-0904.
