Yes..I know that I can include the legacy jar but I don't want to. I'd prefer to not use depreciated librarys in my app. The thing I'm confused about is that I'm not sure how I'm even using GenericDataSource at all. I thought that by explicitly using the BasicDataSource I would be avoiding this problem.
