> I think we should remove all J2EE build tasks and make compilation of DataSourceResourceLoader included by default.
> The reason the J2EE tasks exist is that javax.sql.DataSource was not present in JDK 1.3 and before.  Hence DataSourceResourceLoader could not be compiled unless j2ee.jar, jdbc2_0-stdext.jar in the classpath or JDK 1.4+ was used.
> At this point, most users are on JDK 1.4+.  I suggest we just check for the presence of javax.sql.DataSource and include the DataSourceResourceLoader if it is present.  If not, leave it out and just display a warning message noting that it is missing.  (and suggesting users download the appropriate library).
