The greyed-out JAR files issue in STS/Eclipse Data Source Explorer is a common problem.

Use Database Tools in Eclipse Marketplace

Try installing the proper database tools:

  1. Go to Help → Eclipse Marketplace

  2. Search for "DTP" (Data Tools Platform) or "Database Development"

  3. Install the Eclipse Data Tools Platform plugins

  4. Restart STS

  5. Try adding drivers again via Data Source Explorer

The newer versions of STS might have issues with the legacy Database Development perspective. so try above steps and let us know whether it is working or not.
