to hold local profiles too. That is achieved by a _.gitignore_ which says to ignore any directory named

_local_ under the directory _databases_. So one option to provide custom profiles is to drop them in there. That

has the benefit of not having to specify _hibernate-matrix-databases_

Within these directories, the plugin looks for sub-directories which either:

* contain a file named _matrix.gradle_. _matrix.gradle_ is a limited DSL Gradle file which currently understands

just a specialized org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration reference named _jdbcDependency_. All that is a fancy

way to say that _matrix.gradle_ allows you to specify some dependencies this database profile needs (JDBC drivers,

etc). Any dependency artifacts named here get resolved using whatever resolvers (Maven, etc) are associated with

the build. For example

jdbcDependency {

"mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.17"

}
