Using with the deb release mentioned on #71
I am getting this error

As the error is not descriptive, I made sure that I have this installed:

sudo apt-get install libpostgresql-jdbc-java
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libpostgresql-jdbc-java is already the newest version (42.2.9-1.pgdg18.04+1)

What am I missing?

Hi, you have to configure the JDBC drivers first before you can setup a database connection.

Please take a look at the manual here.

ERDesignerNG does not include the JDBC drivers, so you have to download them separately and configure the classpath in ERDesignerNG.

Hi @mirkosertic, I had the same question as @cvvergara, so may be it would be a good idea to move the "Classpath configuration for JDBC drivers" from PDF page #10 into the "Download and installation" as a sub-section or at least, just after it.

It would be helpful to know where to find the drivers. Is it possible to provide a link without violating the license for the divers?

@MicheleTobias :
under Debian buster, I just : apt install libpostgresql-jdbc-java
which installed this version : 42.2.12-1.pgdg100+1

Sorry for the delay
I followed your instructions, and now things are working.
Thanks
