I really see no usefulness in such a connector (even if it did work). The one and only benefit is that you get to use the JVM native vendor network proprietary code rather than the ASF open source code. Really cool :)
We also use JVM native code for java.lang, and in the old java.io connector :-) NIO code is open source as well - Classpath includes a decent implementation. The benefit is that nio, even if lower performance than APR, is part of the jre and so it's slightly easier to use. I think after the NIO connector is stable we should start deprecating the old java.io connector. Costin
