DBCP has recently been picked up by a new maintainer and I believe that work is continuing on it. The new developer posted on the mailing list about the Hibernate team dropping support for DBCP, but I never saw the response from the Hibernate team.
Actually it is *very* easy to implement/maintain your own ConnectionProvider.
Really, it is no big deal whether we will/won't support DBCP 1.2, previous or above versions. Just do it and publish it on the wiki or whereever you want. It's a single simple class.
Currently no one in the team actively use DBCP, it is too much a pain for us to maintain and support something we don't really use: as simple as that.
End of the story
