Re-read his message, he wrote it's only supported by Suns *Windows* VM,
that means the java VM for Windows.

The problem is that odbc drivers are platform specific (in opposite to
most jdbc drivers that are pure java). So you need the jdbc:odbc bridge
and the access odbc driver both built for linux, and I assume that at
least the latter one does not exist.
