Hi & some questions regarding Properties & contribution

Hi,

I'm Jürgen, new on this list and I'm currently osgifying the postgresql
jdbc driver (https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/issues/71).

I have some questions regarding the conformity to the JDBC spec.

In section 9.4.1 "DataSource Properties" it reads: The only property
required for all DataSource implementations is description

When I look at the implementation, there is no description property. Is
there any specific reason for this?

The spec also defines a number of other (optional) properties, most of
them are not implemented. Wouldn't it be possible to implement at least
some of them (dataSourceName, ...), just to be nice?

I'm also talking with the IP people from the Eclipse foundation, so that
the JDBC driver can be used as a dependency in some of the projects.
This is not possible at the moment since it failed the validation (the
Eclipse foundation is pretty strict). I'm still trying to find out what
the specific problems are, but as far as I understand a contribution
policy is missing (and maybe other things). And actually I didn't find
one when I looked.

Two things more, how to format the source code? It seems to me that the
code is formatted relatively inconsistent. I'd love to have a formatter
for Eclipse.

What about the header information in the files? Some files have none,
some have /* Copyright (c) 2004-2011, PostgreSQL Global Development
Group */. What should I put into my new file?
