Any implementation that has the classes will do. java2perl6 is only
concerned with the class interfaces. It just runs javap on the class
you give it, parses the class and interfaces definitions it outputs, and
writes corresponding perl6 clasess and roles definitions.
Try running
java2perl6 --outdir jdbc --recurse --nest java.sql.Connection
I've just checked in a file I had on my disk that lists all the
java.sql and javax.sql classess, so you can run
java2perl6 --outdir jdbc --recurse --nest $(cat jdbc_classes.txt)
