Replace the current connection pool by one that is more up-to-date

At the moment we use a connection pool from bitmechanic. This is the least to say some what outdated. Hard to find any information about it. The only thing I could find was this:
http://www.knightsofthenet.com/projects/SQLPool/

Can we replace this with an implementation of for instance dbcp
http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/index.html

I think there is a big risk in using this old versions that are not tested on new java systems anymore. We can be missing a lot of optimizations (jdbc4 for instance)

For the pooling behavior we can use something like commons-pool
