Alternately, you can look at JPype ( http://jpype.sourceforge.net ).

It is still a very early release, but I would welcome any feeback. And 
version 0.1 should allow you to use JDBC without problem.

It currently only works on Windows, but if there is interest, I could 
make a linux release pretty quickly.
