You could start dbcp2 if dbcp is frozen. If that really doesn't work, and there's really nowhere to put the component, then this can be reconsidered. > 2.

Without the script, it could cause CL conflicts with the commons libs, and it would be even bigger. OTOH, replacing the pool is annoying. People don't like bugs in their pool. > 4.
