upon testing a connection to an old personal oracle lite (3.5) database using the personal oracle lite jdbc driver: oracle.pol.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver the netbeans ide crashes and dies and disappears. in my experience using java and jdbc with this db and driver, it crashes the java vm, for example when sql types fail to match what's in the db on reading or writing. the oracle navigator often crashes as well, for example on editing new columns data types. however, even if Oracle is crashing when the connection is attempted, it would be better if the entire netbeans IDE didn't crash.
DBExplorer has not been ever tested with Oracle Lite, it is not supported database. Marked as LATER (no resources to investigate it now).
Reopen.
It seems mostly like JDBC driver problem. Closing as WONTFIX, Oracle Lite is not supported database.
