what are you saying? The short term solution: just get rid of the mysql driver. The long term solution: Implement a generic helper, that has meta-data as part of the ALv2 code, and allows the user after he requests it to install drivers. So I'd enhance the DB Drivers dialog to have the option to install additional drivers. My preferred source would be maven central, as I know that many drivers will be covered by this. I'll take care of DB and I'd like everyone not to get trigger happy to "just remove stuff". In this case I do care. > The goal, imho, it to have a public NetBeans installer with Java 9 > support for our users, preferably in 2017.

I did not disagree with reasoned removal modules, but with the "everything and the kitchensink" approach. IMHO you picked the wrong sample when you called DB. The bigger part of the problem (SwingX) is already tackled and so db dataview is clean and db drivers can be easily cleaned. As said, I'll take care of it. Greetings Matthias
