A 2.0 Connector appears to be ancient. 5 is the current version, 3 is
the earliest still available on MySQL's website.

They aren't that new. Nearly six years in dog years is over four decades in
human years. And there aren't that many changes: get rid of "enum" in your
code and hope you aren't using the commons-lang version of that, and voil??.
That said, I also was just on a project that still uses 1.4. To their credit,
they're finally now upgrading (gradually) to the (also now obsolescent) Java 5.
The actual conversion took about a week for roughly a million lines of code.
Upgrading from Rational Application Developer 6 to version 7 took them another
two months.
