Might I suggest we have a very simple build script for building the JDBC4 functionality and adding it to derby.jar and derbyclient.jar, and that this build script be well tested and documented? All you should have to do is set one property indicating where your JDK 6 JAVA_HOME is and you're off and running...
A great idea, and an easy one to implement. Users will have to download the source and one of the other distributions, but that's ok. First, where it lives: I think it should go into tools/jdbc4 and then it will show up in the src distribution automatically, which users will need to download anyway. It should be documented in the top-level index.html file, and maybe elsewhere as well, and maybe specific documentation could be kept along with the script if any is needed. The script will: * check for DERBY_HOME/lib/derby.jar and DERBY_HOME/lib/derbyclient.jar * check that JAVA_HOME points to a 1.6 JDK. * compiles the JDBC 4 support from a list of classes with the derby jars as the classpath. * updates the derby jars in DERBY_HOME/lib and we should provide batch and shell versions. Anything else? I could whip something together for people to try out in short order. Anyone got an idea for a name? If no one has any better suggestions, I'll go with 'update-with-jdbc4' andrew
