Subject	[dtp-pmc] Petitioning for Fix of BZ 190898 - Creating default driver throws NPE if ID doesn't exist

Hi all... 

While doing some internal testing of the facility to create default driver definitions, we hit up on this bug: 

When testing to see if drivers get created successfully at startup in our
internal product, we discovered that if the ID of the driver template doesn't
exist, the DriverManager throws a nasty error.

!ENTRY com.sybase.stf.servers.core 4 0 2007-06-01 14:50:26.701

Here's the BZ entry with the suggested patch: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=190898 

It would clean things up if we were to apply the patch. (NPE's are rarely good) It's a simple 2 line fix that should not affect any current adopters. 

Thanks.
