JDBCProvider

[David Emerson]

I've been using a really old version of JSPWiki and storing pages via the 
old JDBCProvider. I'd like to update to the latest release, but the page 
provider isn't compatible at the moment. For fun, I tried to get the latest 
version of the code I could find to compile against the latest JSPWiki 
code, which I was able to do. I also need to add a new SQL query for a new 
overload of pageExists, but that looks pretty straightforward.

If I can get this working it makes sense to contribute it back to the 
project, but I have a few questions. I moved the code from it's original 
package to a new package under the existing package for the core providers. 
Would you want it moved out of there back to it's original package 
structure? I'd like to contribute this, but don't want to commit to owning 
it long term (of course I'm fine with fixing bugs until it seems stable). I 
also don't really want to host it's download. I actually think it makes 
sense for it to be a core provider, but I'm not sure if there are issues 
with that since it was originally developed as a contributed provider. 
Also, if you folks have access to JDBCProvider code more recent than June 
2006, I'd re-do my fixes against that instead. Any suggestions on how to 
proceed?
