There appear to be better solutions than the ODBC bridge.

I haven't tried using it yet, but UCanAccess + Jackcess + HSQLDB together 
make up a JDBC driver, it says, that can read and write Access databases 
without a byte of Windows code being involved. It appears that the whole 
thing fits together like this:
 - Jackcess 2.0 understands the Access file structure at the 
   schema/table/locking(I think) level
 - HSQLDB 2.25 contributes the SQL engine 
 - UCanAccess 2.x.x binds it all together and turns it into a functional 
   JDBC driver.

I like JDBC: I've been using it for a while now to access a PostgreSQL 
database. Performnance is better than I initially expected and it pretty 
much 'just works' and keeps on doing so despite software, hardware and OS 
upgrades.
