You can download JayBird JDBC driver from SourceForge.net
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=9028&release_id=112222). It is used as any other JDBC
driver, i.e. you have to include firebirdsql.jar, mini-j2ee.jar and
mini-concurrent-jar in your classpath and specify
org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver as driver class.

Note, this driver might not work with InterBase. If you plan to use
InterBase, not Firebird, you should use InterClient. Last free
version of InterClient is 2.01 and is available for download from
Borland site and SourceForge.net. Next version of InterClient (2.5)is
not free and are shipped with InterBase 6.5.

Most likely you will need to change some of your SQL statements to be
able to run your application with Firebird, but this is not related
to Java. Questions about optimization/porting database to Firebird
you should ask in IB-Support group. All Java-related questions
(configuration of JayBird, bug reports, etc.) should be asked here.

All JayBird specific information can be found in release notes or
JayBird FAQ (http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?
a=ibphoenix&l=;IBPHOENIX.FAQS;NAME='JayBird')
