[request] IDE: want to dynamically add something to Java classpath at runtime (e.g. JDBC driver)

[RaiMan]

**** workaround until solution is available in SikuliX

see related question

---------------------------------------------------------

In the "Can I do X or Y or Z in Sikuli?" there is a bit about connecting sikuli to a database.

Anyway, my goal is to make the following script run:

    from com.ziclix.python.sql import zxJDBC
    db = zxJDBC.connect("jdbc:mysql//localhost/core", "xxx", "xxx", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", CHARSET='iso_1')

I've copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar file into sikuli's libs directory.

I've added an entry to the classpath in the runIDE.cmd script

I've tried adding the classpath entry inside my sikuli script

In all cases, I get:

[error] zxJDBC.DatabaseError ( driver [com.mysql.jdbc.Driver] not found )

What do I need to do in order to make this work?
