We were trying to use HXTT's driver to copy some data out of Microsoft Access. We were getting a MethodNotFoundException when getting tables from the DatabaseMetaData. Did they implement this? SteveD pointed out Squirrel uses this driver just fine.

Dug into squirrel source code to find out how it is using HXTT Access drivers. There is special code for TDS/Merlia drivers, but not for HXTT Access. I don't think we have sent in a support request yet. Googled, found a support request from HXTT from someone with a similar problem (MethodNotFoundException) and mention that they were using two HXTT drivers at the same time. HXTT response was to suggest they download new copies of both drivers but copies released on the same day. This reinforces suspicion that the problem lies in the obfuscation of the Java byte code by HXTT. I removed the DBF 3.0 drivers from the eclipse project build class path and the Access drivers now magically work. Time for lunch.
