As it is pure Java it can run on any JDK, even on Windows 8-). I use
it on NT in a production environment without problems. 

On the dowside there have been some reports that the driver would not
work (properly?) with SQL Server 2000. I don't have access to anything
but SQL Server 7 so I don't really know.

As you would on any other platform, I think Craig has put in some
batch files to do the actual compile. And you can always use the
prebuilt snapshot.
