Mark is right there is no problem sharing code across projects. We just brought in a class from Harmony to DBCP itself. I would encourage you guys to consider using DBCP directly though, partly so it will be easier to share patches to the XA code you are mentioning. In particular, the patches you have already submitted should make their way into DBCP next releases. Thanks for these and thanks in advance for any more you are willing to make.
One nit on @author tags - they are discouraged and should probably be removed.
