Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6945:
----------------------------------------
I like the idea of putting the external JDBC driver classes into
derbytools.jar; it makes sense to me to think of derbytools.jar as "the jar
file where all the external classes that you directly reference live". That is,
things like sysinfo, ij, etc. are all just "entry points" into the Derby
functionality, which is also true of the client and embedded drivers.
But I think you went over that idea a bit too fast for me, at least your item
(1) is confusing to me.
If the JDBC Driver classes are in derbytools.jar, how does an application
invoke a JDBC driver using just derby.jar+derbyshared.jar or just
derbyclient.jar+derbyshared.jar? Is one of those jars automatically pulling
derbytools.jar into the classpath somehow?

> Once we commit to building with Java 9 (see DERBY-6856), we should consider
> re-packaging Derby as a set of jigsaw modules. This would result in a
> different set of release artifacts. This might be a good opportunity to
> address the Tomcat artifactory issues raised by issue DERBY-6944.
