The short answer is it is not possible due to the changes in JDBC interfaces in different versions of Java. Developers always ask this, but we would either have to maintain two versions of some files and use conditional compilation, or have one file containing two versions. We use the second option which poses fewer synchronisation problems.
The code in CVS is ready to compile with 1.3. It needs the conversion to compile for 1.1 or 1.4 JDK's.

The reason I'm asking is that I can see a lot of benefit in having a single codebase that compiles on all platforms without needing the switch scripts.
