Description

This visibility restriction on CaseInsensitiveHashMap is too strict for no good reason:

private static class CaseInsensitiveHashMap extends LinkedHashMap<String, Object>

This should be specified as:

protected static class CaseInsensitiveHashMap extends LinkedHashMap<String, Object>

Otherwise it's painful to override or re-implement methods such as public Map<String, Object> toMap(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException.
