Derby plugin class sometimes not found exception

Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver") when called from within an Eclipse view class throws class not found however from a main in the same class it succeeds and I can get a connection o the db. I can connect to the db from ij fine as well. Derby version is 10.5.3 and eclipse is 3.5.1. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't use Eclipse, but this sounds like a classpath problem. Maybe
some Eclipse experts can help you, I don't believe this is a Derby
issue.

I'm using the derby plugin which sets the classpath up for the project. It
may have something to do with the way the views are instantiated though but
if that is the case I would expect this to be a common problem with users of
the plugin. I will try the eclipse lists.
