I have a stand-alone java application that uses ojdbc6.jar to connect to Oracle. Using Maven to compile the application works fine, and debugging the project in Eclipse works fine.
However, using Maven package to bundle the dependencies and then running the application from the command line I get the exception: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:oracle:thin:@::
The jar containing the dependencies exists and the correct path to this artifact is propertly specified in the classpath. Upon examination of the dependency jar file I can see the Oracle folder with the correct files, so apparently the packaging included the drivers but Java can't find them. Adding a classpath entry pointing directly to the file ojdbc6.jar allows the program to run fine, so there is no issue with any of the other dependencies. So it really seems like the problem lies with the packaging.
Anyone ever run into anything like this?
