A couple htings:- the sqlserver jdbc driver - to get it to show up you will
need to go to the MANIFEST.MF editor; runtime tab and add the jar as
something the MANIFEST.MF is publishing (from there it should update the
.classpath and let you compile etc...)
- to prompt the user for something you already have the control you need;
you are making a tool - when they have issued their four points you can open
a dialog and ask the user for the name. If you just need the name you may
even be able to use one of the built in dialogs that JFace provides
- in the future you may want to extend your tool to allow them to click on
existing gates and change the name
