> I was trying to configure JDBC fail-over, so I put my mysql driver jar in the KARAF_HOME/lib directory.  I kept getting ClassNotFoundExceptions.  On the advice of someone on IRC, I changed the name to "karaf-mysql-connector-java.jar" and it started working.  Why the karaf- prefix requirement?  If that's the intended behavior, then please update the README file in the lib directory.  It says:
> "Any jar in this folder will be part of the main classloader used to load Karaf."
