2019 JDBC driver for SQL Server?

Mike KutzJun 18 2019 — edited Jun 19 2019

I am trying to connect SQL*Developer (19.1) to an SQL Server

It appears I have two choices for connecting Java to SQL Server

Open Source that was last modified DATE '2013-06-08' ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/jtds/ )
Microsoft that was last published DATE '2019-04-17' ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57782 )

After I add the Microsoft driver, I do not get "SQL Server" as a drop-down option when I attempt to create a new DB Connection.

Is there anything I can do to let SQL*Developer know that the Microsoft JDBC is for "SQL Server" database?

or should I just use "an old JDBC driver"?

or something completely different?

Many thanks,
