Well, the top of the /contrib/retep README has:

Before you ask what retepTools are, they are my personal suite of
utilities. About 90% of them are JDBC related (either they use JDBC, or
I use them in developing the JDBC driver).

It is java, but only tangentially related to the driver. It is very far
from our core functionality and seems better in gborg. Just because it
is java doesn't mean it has to be near jdbc.

JDBC folks aren't excited about removing from the main cvs until the
vitality of gborg is more proven.
