If the difference between JDBC3 and 4 is the compiler-version used to compile them, then JDBC3 must only be of interest to those, who still use Java-1.5 for whatever reason. These would not be new FreeBSD installations... Various other packages have stopped supporting JDBC3 long ago <https://www.google.com/search?q=JDBC3+obsolete>. I'd recommend dropping it too. But if you think, we should not drop it, there is still no need for the older JDKs. Any newer javac can be asked to generate older bytecode. For example: javac -source 1.5 -target 1.5 ... Yours, -mi
