Description:
the index.html in jtds-1.0.2-dist.zip says:

"Being a type 4 driver, jTDS does not need any special installation. Just drop the jar file into your application's classpath and you're done."

That means nothing to me.

From what I can tell, I need to put jtds-1.0.2.jar somewhere (\temp), hit "Locate Driver on Harddisk", point to jtds-1.0.2.jar, let WB copy it to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench\java\lib

How to repeat:
menu, database, Reverse engineering, select MS SQL, hit "Download Driver from the Web", unzip and try to figure out what to do next.  read the docs, get confused.

Suggested fix:
download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jtds/jtds-1.0.2-dist.zip?download, unzip to temp and grab jtds-1.0.2.jar.  Or just make the docs a bit more clear.
