I'm looking at the [monitoring] sandbox component. (Notwithstanding some complex approach) it can't be built with a JDK > 1.5 due to the interface additions made to JDBC in Java 1.6. As 1.5 is EOL and this is a sandbox component that may well never see the light of day anyway, any objections to upgrading to 1.6 and adding the missing methods to the JDBC implementations so we can at least built the thing simply?
