There is no standard JDK, in the same sense as there is no standard C
compiler.  You run configure --with-java; make; make install and voilà
there's the JDBC driver, made by whatever JDK was around at the moment.
(For appropriate values of voilà, of course.)  Most distributions include
Kaffe I suppose, which should serve fine (once you set up the CLASSPATH
correctly; YMMV).
