Have not tried with 7.0, but recent versions of Kaffe were definitely able
to compile the JDBC code that came with 6.5.3, but only after modifying
the version check in the makeVersion.java file in src/interfaces/jdbc (and
perhaps elsewhere where a versioon check occurs). The code checks for the
java version string and rejects everything that doesn't start with either
1.1 or 1.2. The problem was that Kaffe reports its own version, e.g. 1.02,
rather than the corresponding JDK version.
