Each time IBM release a new GA or fixpack, the jdbc driver should be published in the maven repository. Also, if IBM wants to keep control, they could have its own repository.
I have seen many Java apps with very old drivers, just because the developer found a driver somewhere, and he just put it in the libraries. IBM should provide a better way to get java drivers, instead of downloading a big package from Fixpack central. Also, the license acceptance could be important for IBM, but what is the purpose to accept or not a driver if the server is already installed (a driver without a server is useless).
