Jose,

According to the license, the source code for DAO4J isn't licensed
under terms that would allow us to fix it:

"Decompilations and any changes are not allowed."

It seems like your only option would be to send the author an email
asking him to distrribute the source code under an open-source
license, so that we could import and maintain it, or have him update
it to work with SQuirreL 2.6.x.  It doesn't appear that any changes
have been made to it since version 1.15 on 11/23/2005.
