Hi Andrew,

Thanks to your excellent work on derby-1078, it appears that we use the 
1.6 javac when compiling in a shell window whose JAVA_HOME points at a 
1.6 installation. Thanks to your changes, the build targets tell the 1.6 
compiler to regard pre-JDBC4 source as down-rev and to generate byte 
code that will run on jdk1.3.

I ran the experiment you recommended: I compiled and then generated 
javadoc all in a shell window whose JAVA_HOME pointed at jdk1.6. This 
did not change the javadoc result. E.g., the javadoc still falsely 
asserted that our JDBC3 DataSources implemented the JDBC4 Wrapper interface.

The result was not affected when I generated javadoc with the following 
ant switch (also in a 1.6 shell window):

             source="1.4"

Regards,
-Rick
