Oracle JDBC drivers have new groupIds and artifactIds

[aalmiray]

The Oracle JDBC drivers have been updated and published to Maven Central since September 2019 starting with version 19.6.0.0. The new coordinates use com.oracle.database.jdbc as base gorupId

Oh thanks. Yeah I was usually using a downloaded driver for ANT. I'm using an older version. But yeah, at some point I'll update my oracle test database. My plan is to move all my test DBs to Linux on a virtual box image and make it available somewhere for people.

My test DB is older 11g express edition. Do you know which dependency should I use? Maybe I need to upgrade that version.

[sproket]

Thanks. Since my DB version is older. I just manually installed ojdbc6.jar - I added the file to libs and added a readme for it.

Actually: why have a local copy of ojdbc6.jar at all? ojdbc8 should be perfectly fine. Even when running against Oracle 11 ... and the dependency seems to be updated properly.

I also found a build.xml where it's used -- do you still intend to support build with ant?

Otherwise I'd propose to simply get rid both of ojdbc6.jar and build.xml ;-) ...

[sproket]

No I'm doing anything with ant anymore. It might work still. I'll remove it at some point. I'll try out the ojdbc8.
