I've gotten a little further on the installation of the xDBC plugin for FMPro 7 on OSX. I used the testforjdbc shell (only works with bash on my system) and registered the driver. After doing this, Witango 5.5 Lite was able to connect to a FMPro 7 database that had ODBC/JDBC turned on. I created the datasource using Witango and have included it here (I just opened the TimeCards.fp7 file that was included with FMPro 7; use Admin for logon, no password):

(edited out the extra properties lines)

                <DataSource ID="fmpro7">
                        <DSN>fmpro7</DSN>

        <DriverClass>com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver</DriverClass>

        <URL>jdbc:sequelink://127.0.0.1:2399;databaseName=TimeCards.fp7</URL>
                        <Properties />
                </DataSource>

When I tested, it gave me the connection. When I opened the datasource, I entered the Admin logon but it only shows the table, no fields. I removed the databaseName part and it still connected. The notes talk about problems trying to connect to more than database. It says to use serverDataSource instead but there's no instructions on the syntax.
