They are part of the J2EE server distro.
Actually, that's a hack you could use: simply download orion1.5.2.zip from
orionserver.com, or even add www/orion as a dependency :) and extract the
necessary jar files from that as part of the install.

Well, my entire reason for wanting to up the version number on the JDBC
driver is because it's too old to run with Orion properly. It'll run, but
there are bugs that have been fixed in 2.0.x that Orion needs. Hmm.
Actually, perhaps Orion will just work with the J2EE-stripped port. After
all, Orion also works with 1.2c.
Just commit the port as you made it, stripping J2EE, but with a message that
it's a cripple implementation until the jar files are fixed.
