I'm just starting to use Eclipse as an IDE for Java development. There
are a number of Eclipse plug-in's that allow you to view Databases via
a JDBC connection: eg Quantum (http://quantum.sourceforge.net/) or
EasySQL (http://http://easysql.sourceforge.net/).

I've tried accessing a Firebird database using the plugins and
specified the appropriate class/driver/path for JayBird. But so far no
luck. From the error message it looks like the jar files in the
JayBird's "lib" directory are not being picked up. But I don't know
how to tell Eclipse/plugin to look in the this directory for the
additional classes.

Anybody have any pointers?

Cheers,
Paul
