Something strange is going on here.  It should never try to build a JDBC3
driver without SSL.  The 1.4 JDK is the only one that supports JDBC3 and
it has SSL included.

This seems to be indicating that it is finding two versions of
SQLException, another bizarre error.

I would recommend first checking your classpath and seeing if you had any
references to another JDKs internal files.  It is best to compile with an
empty classpath.  If that doesn't help possibly try reinstalling the jdk.
