The problem is that the JDBC driver is using a pool driver that is in
common with the core of ManifoldCF.  So the connector-lib path, which
only the connectors know about, won't do.  That's a bug which I'll
create a ticket for.

A temporary fix, which is slightly involved, requires you to put the
ojdbc6.jar in the example/lib area, as you already tried, but in
addition you will need to explicitly include the jar in your
classpath.  Normally the start.jar's manifest describes all the jars
in the initial classpath.  I thought it was possible to also include
additional classpath info through the normal --classpath mechanism,
but that doesn't seem to work, so you may be stuck with modifying the
root build.xml file to add the jar to the manifest.

I'm going to experiment a bit and see if I can come up with something quickly.
