Well, you could actually nest the jar inside of another jar (we've done
it here before), but you need to do some ugly things like using your own
classloader and doing some tricks to avoid the must-be-the-same-
classloader security checks DriverManager does.
Just including the postgres driver classes directly in your jar file is
simpler, and that's what we mostly do when we need to bundle an
application with build-in PostgreSQL support. Not sure why it's not
working for you.
