ADBA in an Apache 2.0 project

[Douglas Surber]

Lance is more knowledgeable about this than I am.

To the best of my knowledge Oracle will not release ADBA in any form other than through Mercurial until the standards process is much further along. I can’t imagine any reason you couldn’t pull the source from Mercurial and build a jar yourself.

Given the API is not yet stable, releasing anything at this stage may only serve to fragment things.
