The framework library contains utility classes that are generic and useful for building applications
that introspect a database via JDBC. These are not intended to be SQuirreLSQL-specific and could be
used by other projects JDBC front-end applications. This project is guaranteed to have no code
dependencies on other SQuirreLSQL projects and could therefore be used when building a different
JDBC front-end application.
