This should be sufficient for the adapter to be picked up. Even modeler
restart is not required. Aside from possibly incorrect CLASSPATH (is it
pointing to the root of the compiled classes package hierarchy?), there
maybe an error in instantiating your custom adapter itself.
Looking at the modeler code, I see that unfortunately it will provide
no problem diagnostics (like an exception in the logs, or a verbose
message on mouse over the red field). So lets try to guess. One thing
that may be missing is "types.xml" files in the same Java package as
your custom adapter. This file is accessed in constructor, so it is a
possibility. You should just copy types.xml from dba.sybase package. If
this doesn't help, I'll have to think of something else ;-)
