> JDBC 4.0 changed the requirement for specifying a JDBC driver name. Previously an application had to load the class to register the driver by use of Class.forName.
> All JDBC 4.0+ drivers should register themselves. See
> https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-983612
> This likely means that a JDO provider will not require the javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName to be supplied.
> DataNucleus (v5.1.5+) certainly doesn't require it, and only previously used it for loading the driver as per previous JDBC semantics.
> This is only referred to in section 11.1 and Appendix G of the spec that I can see. Perhaps we can omit it in JDO 3.2+, particularly as the JRE in use will require JDBC v4+?
