I had the same problem in Commons Resources recently. We had been using hsqldb 1.7.1 (which I think was OK with JDK 1.3) - but the problem was it shut down the database if all connections were closed. I fixed an issue in Commons Resources to close connections properly and found the tests failed - upgraded to hsqldb 1.7.2.2 (same version as Configuration) and hit the same JDK 1.4 issue. I fixed it, by just not running the one JUnit test case that uses hsqldb if the JDK was less than 1.4:
