GSSCredential

[Lance Andersen]

When/if an update is made it will be in  JDBC 4.4 as part of an MR.

I do not have a timeframe for an MR as of this time.  I am gathering small things for an MR but not at that point yet.

Not sure there is a need for ConnectionBuilder to extend Wrapper given you can unwrap the Connection if needed.
