Description

Hello

I am trying to create a Glue Crawler using JDBC driver jt400-20.0.7.jar (obtained from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jt400/jt400), and getting error "Unsupported jdbc driver classname" . [This was reported also for AWS Advanced JDBC Driver](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-advanced-jdbc-wrapper/issues/653), and apparently the problem is Glue doesn't support all JDBC drivers.

I also tried to manually creating a job using the custom JDBC Connection, and it failed, and I think the root failure was “WARNING - Glue ETL Marketplace - Connection _my connection name_ is not a CUSTOM or Marketplace connection, skip jar downloading for it”.

Could you please confirm whether is possible to use Glue with any JDBC Driver, such as this DB2 one? Or is Glue limited to a handful of supported JDBC Drivers?

Thanks and best regards
