That's correct, 1.x refers to the JDK version (as 1.2 and 1.3 are different in
a few small ways).

For info, this is my naming convention:

jdbcx.x-y.ye

where:

x.x - PostgreSQL Minor version, ie 7.1
y.y - Java JDK it supports, ie:
1.1 for JDK1.1.8 (aka JDBC1.2)
1.2 for JDK1.2.x Standard Edition
1.3 for JDK1.3.x Standard Edition

e - If present ee indicates the enterprise edition (currently JDK1.2 only).
ie: jdbc7.1-1.2e

I'm currently writing these down for the dev web pages...
