How to unify mixed version JDBC drivers in an env like ODBC Unified Installer does for 7.1 and 8.0 ODBC drivers

Resolution
DataDirect does not have a unified installer for JDBC drivers yet, but this is on the roadmap. 
There is no definite timeline for when it will be available.
Therefore, to create an env with different JDBC driver versions( DB2  5.1.4, Oracle 6.0, SQL Server 6.0), you need to run both the 5.1 and 6.0 installers separately to install the drivers.
Running 5.1 and 6.0 JDBC drivers in the same java environment is fully supported.
The driver licensing is handled inside each jar file, so there are no issues with incompatibility.
