I had the need the other day to use the projection 3785 in uDig. The current version of the epsg-hsql jar didn't support this projection code so I went digging.
In the epsg-hsql I found Martin's instructions for updating the EPSG.sql file. So I followed these instructions and created a new EPSG.sql for my use. 1) I downloaded the latest EPSG database (Version 6.18) from http://www.epsg.org/. 2) I followed Martin's instructions for creating EPSG.sql database file. 3) I added a test case to the test cases to see if would read this projection from my new file. Here I found a minor problem with this projection. Apparently GeoTools doesn't support 'Mercator (1SP) (Spherical)' operation method; so I updated the EPSG.sql file to use 'Mercator (1SP)'. I'm not sure if there is a difference between these two, however it seemed to work for me. 4) I created myself a new epsg-hsql jar using this new EPSQ.sql file and I was able to use the 3785 projection in uDig. If the community is interested I can provide this new EPSG.sql file & other modifications to the code (test case & version number updates) as a patch.
