My intention is that fixes identified by Tomcat 8 go into DBCP and are then sync'd back to Tomcat. That way, our copy remains what it is intended to be which is: - copy - packaged renamed - changes to switch from Commons Logging to JULI Given the pace of release of Commons I don't expect there to be a huge rush for a DBCP release. > So I feel a little dopey, but I can't find DBCP2 anywhere.

Code is in trunk. Discussion is on the commons dev list. Same for POOL2.
