Jaybird is currently built around a JCA (Java Connector Architecture)
implementation. As such, it is both a JDBC driver and a JCA driver. The
current structure requires a dependency on JCA for non-JCA usage.

We are currently considering removing support for JCA entirely, or
restructuring Jaybird so the dependency on JCA is only needed when
Jaybird is used as a JCA driver.

If you use Jaybird as a JCA driver, please let us know.
