JDBC 4.0 is just a few extra methods, right?  What about compiling on jdk6 
with -source 1.5 -target 1.5?  The extra methods won't be used when running 
inside of 1.5, so they shouldn't cause a problem.  Then just say JDBC 4.0 
is only supported when running on 6 (since otherwise the user won't be able 
to get at the extra methods anyway).
