Please cross check this version of the Excalibur DataSource, and see
if it works just as well as the old version.  If so, I will commit
my changes and we will all be happier.

Of particular interest:

This was compiled on JDK 1.4, please make sure it works with JDK 1.3.

I want to get away from the need to work around the two jars depending
on JDBC 2.0/3.0 version.


Just some thoughts : AFAIK, we need JDBC wrappers to redefine methods that are common to both JDBC 2 and 3, and we left untouched JDBC 3 method.

So, can't a simple solution be an abstract JDBC wrapper that implements all of JDBC3 and which is required (through its build.xml) to be compiled with a JDK 1.4 ?

A JDK 1.3 should not complain about unkown methods as long as they're not used, allowing us to write concrete wrappers that would work equally well in 1.3 and 1.4.
