So the port is built with JDK 1.3...

..and javax.sql.* is a new feature from JDK 1.4

Which advocates (again) for binary Java ports. ;)

Anyway, I can send a fix for that if you want but we have two options
here:

- Update Makefile to enforce the use of JDK 1.4 (JAVA_VERSION=1.4+)
  which is bad as JDK 1.2/1.3 users should be able to use it anyway.
- Switch to a binary port (NO_BUILD=yes) which is bad for many ethic
  reasons (debated in many occasions by many people).

Up to the maintainer...
