NB 5.5 Rc1

Usability issue

Users could use some help when using this dialog.

---------------
Comment from one of our developers while evaluating the product
This comments to applues to this dialog as well:

 :-(  Other DB connectivity - SUCKS
  - I want to do some mysql, the "New Driver" dialog has no help, hints, I need
to lookup the online docs where I find a somewhat helpful topic (i.e. Connecting
to a Database) which needs more info about the driver class. This whole thing
can be easily fixed by adding some hints and doing some more field validation.
Perhaps it can be done in patch to Netbeans 5.5
