I would actually recommend _against_ doing it this way... The main
reason that we removed the MySQL jar is because it is GPL licensed,
but for the other jars (especially Postgres) the driving factor is
that you really should download the JDBC driver that corresponds to
your specific database and the specific version of that database that
you are using and then put that on the classpath so that OFBiz can
find it (and of course changing the entityengine.xml file to
configure the JDBC driver to use is still necessary).
So, in other words: don't get the JDBC driver from the application
provider, get it from the database provider! Sometimes when versions
don't match up strange things happen, and you will save yourself a
LOT of potential pain and suffering and late nights and angry spouses
and rebellious children!
Of course, that's just my opinion. There has been talk of voting on
this to determine whether to put the Postgres JDBC driver back or
not. For MySQL, it's too bad, but licensing issues mean that we
simply cannot include it going forward.
