Description moatley 2007-04-05 14:22:56 UTC 
The list of tables won't display after connecting to an Oracle 10G database.  Connection is OK, but list 
of tables stays on "Please wait".  The following error is found:  java.lang.AbstractMethodError exception.

Here's the full message:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseMajorVersion()I

Tried various versions of ojdbc14.jar with same result.  Tried removing driver and database connections 
and recreating, but no success.  Tried removing netbeans and reinstalling, but no success.  Others with 
similar configurations are working OK.

Comment 2 _ jimdavidson 2007-04-05 19:28:15 UTC 
That usually indicates that you are using an old JDBC driver.  For Oracle, you
should use a 10.x driver, preferably the latest (10.2.0.3).  Please give that a
try, and report back if there's a problem.
Comment 3 moatley 2007-04-05 20:05:24 UTC 
I tried the latest oracle 10g driver and got the same error.
Comment 4 Andrei Badea 2007-04-12 14:20:12 UTC 
Please make sure you don't have multiple Oracle drivers registered. Also please
make sure you don't have an Oracle driver in the $JAVA_HOME/lib/endorsed directory.
Comment 5 moatley 2007-04-12 15:32:34 UTC 
Success!

I don't have an endorsed folder, but I noticed in the Netbeans Java Platform
Manager that other Oracle drivers were listed from my
home/Library/Java/Extensions folder.  This was for another DB explorer product
that couldn't use the current driver. Removing the other drivers from this
folder fixed the problem.

Thanks.
