Java Development Tools

Hello, I am trying to make a JDBC connection to a FileMaker database from jDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4, but I am getting an error that says:

“Unable to find driver: com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver”

According to the FileMaker JDBC documentation, the JDBC client driver is called “ddsljc.jar”. There is also an installer file called “sljcinstaller.jar”. The following is what I have tried…

1) Ran the sljcinstaller.jar installer file.

2) Copied the ddsljc.jar file to my C:\jDev10.1.3\jdev\extensions folder.

3) Registered the ddsljc.jar Class in the Edit Database Connection dialog, by creating a New Library Class Path called “filemaker_jdbc” This got created under the User node in the Library list. Note: When setting up the Library, the Source Path and Doc Path are empty. Could that be the problem?

The details in the Register JDBC Driver dialog box reads:
Driver Class: com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver
Library: filemaker_jdbc
Class Path: C:\jDev10.1.3\jdev\extensions\ddsljc.jar

In the Structure Window for the Database Connection it reads:
Type: Third Party JDBC Driver
Driver: com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver
User: dev
URL: jdbc:sequelink://localhost:2399

The Exception Stack Trace reads:
oracle.jdeveloper.cm.CMException: Unable to find driver: com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver

Thanks, I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. This is the first step in replatforming and redesigning a group of FileMaker databases, to have Java GUI’s. I am really excited about working with jDeveloper!
