jclouds-jdbc is a storage api for relational databases. It is implemented using Guice Persist and JPA, so the user must provide an entity manager and a persistence.xml file with the required data source. An example of the persistence.xml can be found here.
Jdbc tests set up an embedded database and run the tests against it. To run the tests you can use this command.
mvn test
You can also run the integration tests with
mvn integration-test
