Where did you get your driver? When? Most likely you just have a very
old version of the driver. IIRC, big changes were made by Blas
Rodriguez Somoza approx. in October-November, that was either between
beta and RC1, or somewhere between RC1 and RC2.

Also somewhere between beta and RC2 David Jencks changed directory
structure, so all previous versions of classes can be found in Attic
(in fact, XdrInputStream can be found in Attic of client-
java/src/org/firebirdsql/jgds; you can use "Browse CVS" feature of
SourceForge.net to find the date of move).

Currently available binary version is RC3.
