JDBC3 support implies JDK1.4. But the driver has the JDBC3 support
separated out specifically so it's still possible to build under earlier
JDKs.
We only recently dropped JDK1.1 support (!). I think there might be some
resistance to dropping JDK1.2 / JDK1.3 support. Personally I target
JDK1.4 so it doesn't affect me anyway, but..
What features of 1.4 were you thinking of exploiting?
