+ a private copy of the Apache Commons DBCP library. The source code
+ for this library is downloaded, processed by the build script
+ (renaming the packages) and compiled.
+
+ Due to changes in JDBC interfaces implemented by the library between
+ versions of Java SE specification, the library has to target specific
+ version of Java and can be compiled only with the JDK version
+ implementing this version of specification.
+
+ See Apache Commons DBCP project web site for more details on
+ available versions of the library and its requirements,

+ It is possible to use later versions of JDK to build Tomcat 6.0, but the
+ building of that component (tomcat-dbcp.jar) will be skipped and a
+ warning will be printed.
* Install the JDK according to the instructions included with the release.
