newbie: retep wants to have username?

Hello everybody,

I am not that deep in Java, just playing a bit with it, using PG7.1beta from
CVS on RedHat 7.0. Going to contrib/retep/jars I tried:

[mirko(at)romulan jars]$ java -cp ./retepTools.jar \
uk.org.retep.xml.test.XMLExport \
-Dorg.postgresql.Driver \
-Jjdbc:postgresql:mirko/mirko
Now using JDBC Driver: org.postgresql.Driver
The user property is missing. It is mandatory.

at java.lang.Exception.<init>(Exception.java:35)
at java.sql.SQLException.<init>(SQLException.java:100)

at uk.org.retep.xml.test.XMLExport.main(XMLExport.java:186)
[mirko(at)romulan jars]$

to get a dump of the database. It is a bit of a pity that examples exposed
when invoked without parameters are all about oracle :-).

I tried jdbc:postgresql:mirko/mirko(at)localhost for -J as well, same result. I
do not see where the jdbc-url is parsed, I guess somewhere in the
pgsql-driver? Is it possible to use a url with user/db(at)host with PostgreSQL
at all?

I studied the jdbc-interface documentation and did not see this syntax
mentioned anywhere.

Best Regards
Mirko
