Yay... Isnt everyone using jTDS anyway because it is reliably faster? https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/36e7b9cf-5bc5... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7848213/why-is-jtds-faste...

First off kudos to microsoft for open sourcing their JDBC driver. I would have figured microsoft would have used a linter to fix style issues with their code before Open Sourcing. E.x: https://github.com/Microsoft/mssql-jdbc/blob/master/src/main... Anyone know if microsoft is going to specify their java style guide.
Microsoft is a tech company just like many others. You can nitpick all you want but all companies have imperfect code and it is normal.
How did people use this before if it wasn't in the Maven Central Repo? I know it's possible to not use mvn, just wondering what people did in cases like this where a possibly major component in the stack was unavailable. Most big stuff in Java can be found in mvn, and if not we often end up using an alternative. But that's not so easy for a driver.
Run a company maven repo. Make an internal maven plugin with what you need and add it to the company repo.
Not recommended, but plenty of folks do it.

> Now it's your turn, Oracle. That'll never happen. They're too busy trying to make the open source projects they inherited from Sun (MySQL, Java) closed source again.
Doing good job there. MySql dead. Java bloated in politics...
Still not totally happy with their direction on Java

Finally! Having dealt with many database drivers over the years, I can say first hand that closed source drivers are the bane of my existence. The only thing worse than running into a deep-in-the-stack bug in a database driver is one that you can't correct, let alone debug properly. Regardless of your views on closed source software on the server side of things, it's a disservice to your customers to not have open so…
> the bane of my existence This reminds me far too much of the .NET DB2 drivers. What a steaming pile, not to mention having to navigate the labyrinth of the IBM download site to even find it in the first place.
