Does anyone know if there are plans to add support for JDBC 4.0 to the MySQL

If you use google to search site:bugs.mysql.com for keywords "jdbc 4.0",
you'll see several bugs in which Mark Matthews (MySQL's connector
developer) mentions how changes to MySQL Connector/J relates to proposed
features of JDBC 4.0. It's clear that he has been tracking the
development of the JDBC 4.0 specification.
So I would assume that MySQL has intentions to support JDBC 4.0, once
the specification is finalized.
JDBC 4.0 is defined in JSR-000221, and it started the "proposed final
draft" part of the process 2006-07-19, less than one month ago. So it
has another round of revisions to go before it's finalized. I don't
know how long that will take, but the whole project has been going on
for three years so far, so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
The other question is whether the feature you're interested in is
required for compliance with the JDBC 4.0 spec, or if it's optional for
a given vendor to implement it. The Query Object interface is not
listed in section 7 as a feature required for JDBC 4.0 compliance.
