Databricks driver - setup steps not reproducible

Description

1. I’m not able to provide the JDBC URL - the box is there but when I try to type anything in, nothing happens (workaround: edit the driver and hardcode your JDBC URL as the template URL)
2. Guides specify that I should paste my token into the “personal-access-token” field. This field doesn’t exist; I only see “username” and “password” fields (workaround: specify token as the username and provide the token in the password field)
3. When trying to use the official “Azure Databricks” driver, when I try to connect, I get a popup named “Download driver files”, which asks me to download the Simba JDBC driver. However, this fails with the following error: No target file for 'https://databricks-bi-artifacts.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/simbaspark-drivers/jdbc/2.6.22/SimbaSparkJDBC42-2.6.22.1040.zip'

DBeaver Version

Operating System

Database and driver

Built-in “Azure Databricks” driver and the official Databricks JDBC driver.

Steps to reproduce

Follow the official guide from MS docs/Databricks docs or try to use the official DBeaver “Azure Databricks” driver.
