Cheers. Its pretty straight forward to build and uses ant.
I cheat and use xmlBlasters build.sh and copy ant over to the ldbc 
source tree. The howto on the web site as per the requirement tells how 
to switch off 1.4 code. I will recompile the driver for 1.3 in the mean 
time. Sorry about that oversight.

Not sure what you mean here. The plugin uses the same tests as the 
common table plugin. Just change xmlBlaster properties and your testing.
Does it need additional tests?

One day we will all be millionairs to... :)
Jokes aside. Way out of my league. I just want to use xmlBlaster with 
MySQL to save running multiple databases. As far as the "keeping 
everything together" is concerned I will follow your lead.

I am not that brave... You never know what could appear.
Most certainly proving that an abstraction layer works is usefull.
However there will be a cost in performance using an additional layer.
