#1 HSQL incompatible with Java 1.3

[Jason P Kitcat]

Based on Linux Mandrake tests with JDK 1.3 (beta) the HSQL database system is not compatible with Java 1.3. This issue can be fixed by either running on an earlier version of Java or by using a different database system by modifying the JDBC code in dbase.java

Alternatively users may have success if they recompile hsql.jar with Java 1.2 compatibility as FREE comes with HSQL in Java 1.1 mode. See the HSQL site for more info.

This issue will not be resolved in the near future to maintain Java 1.1 support which is significantly more prevalent than 1.3.
