[Hibernate-devel] advice?

I'm having a little issue with the new prepared statement cache. I wrote
a wrapper class for PreparedStatements to simplify way they are checked
in and out of the cache. Unfortunately, the JDK1.4 PreparedStatement
interface declares a method of type java.sql.ParameterMetadata. This
class doesn't exist in the JDB2 API. So it turns out I can compile
code under JDK1.4 and run it under JDK1.2.2 but I can't compile
under JDK1.3 / JDK 1.2.

Is this okay? Does anyone think we really need to be able to compile
on older JDKs? Is there any good workaround for this that I havn't
thought of?

I mean, you can still compile on 1.2/1.3 just by commenting out a couple
of methods so its not *such* a big deal......
