No, they just need to include some more classes in classpath. We do
not have CCI (part of JCA) support simply because it conflicts with
JDBC.

Currently I see only one thing that might be improved (however I have
no idea how): autocommit support. Current implementation caches
result set in memory to model autocommit semantics. If somebody has
better idea how to use IB API, please post it here.

I do not object repackaging. But I would first go for release (we're
quite close to it), then tag it as stable version, branch new version
and make repackaging/refactoring there (like FB people do with
database code).

Only in discussion we can make driver better. You input is really
appreciated, and is very good motivation to continue development! We
see that our work is needed by others, not just to please our ego.

Thanks!
