New Java driver for SqlServer

Theres been rumors on a future effort in building a new JDBC driver to support the SqlServer 2k5. What level of JDBC will it strive to accomplish? Can it be a more open project? Also, the old driver perhaps lacks some things that higher JDBC specs feature so it would be nice if it could provide some sort of backward compatibility.
It would be nice to have the new RowSet thingies and some generics support.Hi schrepfler,

where can I get that old jdbc driver from? and did you use it with 2005 ?|||The old driver (latest version is SP3) can be found here. It's not a bad driver but it's old in architecture and should be updated. I haven't tried it with 2k5 as it is said it's not compatible plus I haven't installed sqlserver 2k5 yet (having problems in installation procedure).|||Thank you!!|||The best place to ask this is the Data Access forum, but we are working on the new driver so now is the time to give the feedback.

-Euan|||I thought first we have a alpha or beta product then we give feedback?|||You can wait but the earlier we get the feedback the better|||Ok, you convinced me, you want me to go to the DataAccess forum and ask what I want in the driver?|||Can I get a beta of the new Driver? I'm developing a CMS using a MySQL Database and would like to see if SQL Server 2005 is more powerful.|||Yep please do, we want all the input we can get.
