JSqlTool 1.1 (fix version) doesn't work properly on Java 6 (JRE 1.6). The main problem I've encountered is in the ProgressDialog class: it attempts to reuse a private Thread in a way that is not compatible with JRE 1.6. This patch fixes the startProgress() and startProgressNoClose() methods to work properly for JRE 1.6.

    I didn't do a good job of describing the symptoms fixed by this class. When the user attempts to connect to a database (running in a JRE 1.6 VM), the progress bar dialog opens and does not close. The application does not populate the Schema window with a list of schemas / tables. Internally, an IllegalStateException is thrown when the private Thread's start() method is called, but it is not caught and reported in the UI.

    Apparently this problem also appears on recent builds of JRE 1.5. I encountered it on 1.5.0 build 12. This patch fixed that, too.
