BIRT - Driver doesn't display in manage drivers

I've just recently read a field guide book on BIRT- so I now understand how BIRT works. Now I've come to try and connect it to my a database rather than the sample one you get with it, however whenever I add my jar file in 'manage drivers' it doesn't display any new drivers under the drivers tab. I've tried every jar folder I've used in the past even as a test to see if it was just the first jar file I was trying to use was the problem.

Does anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong or what I may be doing wrong (I've followed the online tutorial from eclipse and it states that the driver should display when the jar file is added).

I've read lots of articles online and they all say that you need to place the file in the eclipse plugin directory and it states the path (I've used it) then to re-start eclipse and the driver should be available, mine is not upon restart.

Has anyone else ever faced this issue when setting up for the first time?

You don't say what type of database your are using but if it is SQL you probably need to install the correct driver.

Driver you probably want is; sgljdbc4.jar

There are many variables but if you are using set up similar to mine with Apache then you will need to copy the driver to these two folders.

C:\Program Files\eclipse-All-In_One4_3_2\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_4.3.1.v201308301349\drivers

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\Birt\WEB-INF\lib
