Description: (sakthivelg)
shortfin build 060929_4 on sparc

+ Opened up a project that uses datasources that are not configd in IDE
+ Go a warning badge for resolve missing database connections
+ Added the driver and database connection
+ Warning badge goes off! Good!
+ the new database connection added via Edit Db Server Type and Add data
connection is NOT connected in the DB Explorer

Evaluation: (jbaker)
This is not a bug.  This is how NetBeans works.  After adding a connection in 
NetBeans it works the same.  All the user has to do is right-click then add a
connection to dnd more tables or other operations if needed

Evaluation (Entry 2): (jbaker)
I might be able to use the connect() method
as long as my IDE comes back to life

Evaluation (Entry 3):
There is no package public way to connect to the database through the API.
getConnection doesn't connect.

 /**
     * Adds a new connection to Database Explorer. This method does not display
any UI and
     * does not try to connect to the respective database.
     */

I'll ask NB team
