From what I recall, Minerva had a problem with memory leaks. Also, I believe we have a Jira issue that fixes that.

DBCP is being maintained. I am a member of the Apache Commons dev team and I can assure you there is plenty of activity in DBCP.

I don't remember new features brought by DBCP over Minerva. Maybe there were 
better performances or capabilities, but actually I don't know any available 
comparisons.
Some minor features were dropped when switching to DBCP 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/trunk/framework/entity/dtd/entity-config.xsd?r1=1482911&r2=1482910&pathrev=1482911
Minerva was mostly replaced by DBCP because the Minerva version OFBiz used was 
patched by the OFBiz team and the Minerva team never integrated these patches.
Both Minerva and DBCP are nowaydays not maintained, or, for DBCP, not for a 
long moment at least.

I am bringing up version 12.04 from 9.x.  I am looking at the
entityengine.xml file and note that my old version uses the
MinervaConnectionFactory.  That is because way back then, the
DBCPConnectionFactory was giving me LOTS of problems.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two and what would the
advantage be using the default DBCPConnectionFactory?

Thanks
