does anyone know how I can use the sqljdbc4 jar file inside a project but without setting it in the build path of the project inside Eclpise? I store my project in a source control repository and have a Countinuous Integration Server (Jenkins) to run my java tests. If the sqljdbc4 jar is included at Eclipse level only, the Countinuous Integration Server yells it cannot find the class specified (using Class.forName()) as the file is not "shipped" with my java code.
I also use Maven but it seems to not be provided by Maven repository as dependency.
Or any alternative I could use instead of sqljdbc4?
Thanks;
You may find this Using eclipse and maven 2, how to get dependancy for sqljdbc4? helpful as it shows you how to add sqljdbc4 as a dependency. You will have to do this on your CI server as well, unless you have a repository manager such as http://nexus.sonatype.org/, then you can install it there.
