I had a quick look at the source code, and it seems quite simple to fix.

I have attached a patch agains CVS head which (as far as I can tell) fixes this.
It also supports getTables() passing "TYPE" in the String array to select which types to show.

I hope the patch is OK, I have not used the diff tool before ;)

But the changes are really very minimal, I hope I found all places....
