JethroJDBC DriverManager.getConnection throwing NullPointerException while running Maven Snapshot with Dependencies.jar - eclipse

Question

JethroJDBC DriverManager.getConnection working fine when I run the program locally in Eclipse IDE, but the same code throwing NullPointerException while running Maven Snapshot with Dependencies.jar. In the executable jar, I can see the classes exists in com.jethrodata package.
Please help me.
HOST="jdbc:JethroData://UATSERVERHOST:9111/UATINSTANCE"
USER= "USERNAME"
PASS= "PassWord"
SourceCode:
public Connection getConnection(String HOST, String USER, String PASS) throws IOException
{
Connection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.jethrodata.JethroDriver");
//STEP 3: Open a connection
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(HOST, USER, PASS);
return connection;
}
catch(Exception e) {
TestAutomationOutput.outputLog("There is an exception in connecting to the jethro database \r\n"+e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

You can download jethro jar and paste it on your project and give the dependency like below
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jethrodata</groupId>
<artifactId>jethro-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>3.8</version>
<systemPath>${basedir}\src\main\resources\lib\jethro-jdbc-3.8.jar</systemPath>
<scope>system</scope>
</dependency>
And you can use JethroConnection class for examle like below
JethroConnection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.jethrodata.JethroDriver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
connection = ((JethroConnection) DriverManager
.getConnection(url, username, password));
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
JethroStatement stmt = null;
JethroResultSet rs = null;
stmt = (JethroStatement) connection.createStatement();
