Issue TESB-6085: Commercial JDBC drivers must be installed in a Maven repository before they can be used
Because of license issues we do not deliver some of the JDBC drivers, e.g MySQL, Oracle. Instead the user has to provide the driver jar and currently has to publish it to a Maven repository accessible by the Talend Runtime. This is either the local Maven repository or one specified in org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg. Other ways of installing the jar, e.g. putting it into the Deploy folder do not work, because our data service features explicitly reference the jar via the Maven protocol handler. We must not force the user to have a running Maven repository accessible from the runtime. Instead the user should be free how to install the driver. We should remove the references to the driver jars in our Karaf features (also because of the fixed version issue, see TESB-6084) and document the alternatives in the 'Infrastructure Services Configuration Guide'.
