I'd be happy to fix this, I just thought I'd follow the process, and I also thought *perhaps* you might want to own this. I do hope you review what I write and make sure I'm not misstating anything (no that I ever do *that* :) ).

Cheers,

David

    OK, that's good to know.  It looks like I and others have been misled
    that we had to pull these jars down to run tests.  Note Bryan's recent
    efforts to get these jars -- I think he was just following the
    instructions in BUILDING.txt.

    I can log a JIRA to fix the wording in testing/README.htm to make it
    clear that the DB2 driver is optional (and thus the derbynet tests are
    optional).
