I can't reproduce on macOS, i created a new connection with 4.6.1 and after restarting oxygen it is wai.
@rpompaideasoft any more steps that can help us reproduce this?

Steps:
1- Locate the drivers (*. Jar) described here for existdb 4.x.
2- Create the connection in Oxygen with the driver folder specified above.
3- Try it!!

According to the image with jar files, a few files are missing. A bit similar as reported in #2311 :
pkg-java-1.1.jar - not needed I think
j8fu-1.21.jar ** missing
bcprov-jdk15on-1.60.jar * missing, not sure if needed
xmldb-api-1.7.0.jar - present
@raducoravu please could you update the documentation? Let's have a telco which jars are really needed
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.1/ug-editor/topics/configure-exist-datasource.html
@rpompaideasoft I recommend to use the auto download function of oxygen. then all required jar files are downloaded.

Are nine jar files described here
And nine files on picture

@rpompaideasoft Sounds like the list of jars on oXygen's documentation may need to be updated, but AFAIK, the far more easier/popular/common/recommended method is to use the "Create eXist-db XML connection" wizard, which was mentioned at the top of the page whose link you posted. The direct link to the documentation for this wizard is: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.1/ug-developer/topics/how-to-exist.html. Is there any particular reason you didn't use this method? It asks eXist to supply the jars, so there's no way to accidentally miss one.

I will take a look at our documentation and update it.
Oxygen's "Create eXist-db XML connection" downloads and uses all JAR libraries specified in the Exist JNLP. There were problems with in the past with the JNLP not properly referring all JAR libraries and @adamretter has fixed them here: https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/2411
I tested using the "Create eXist-DB connection" wizard in Oxygen to connect to an Exist 4.6.1 server and it worked for me. If this does not work for you, after you click the ""Create eXist-DB connection"" link there is a "Libraries" path, just make sure that it points to an empty folder where to other JAR libraries are located, otherwise Oxygen may load older JAR libraries from previous configured connections.
If expanding the Exist connection in the Data source Explorer still does not work, please restart Oxygen and try again to expand the Exist connection.

@rpompaideasoft Is this working for you now? If so can we close the issue?

The drivers 4.6.1 do not work yet. I'm using the existdb 2.2 drivers, but I do not know if it will be a long term problem

I don't expect the 2.2 drivers to work with the 4.x series ; There were quite some API changes under the hood

it works for me while I correct the drivers 4.x.
