How to use SQL Server Compact Edition (CE) from Java?

According to a newsgroup post sent this Tuesday (2008-12-09) by Jimmy Wu@Mircrosoft:

The Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver does not support connecting to SQL Server Compact. At this time there isn't a scheduled JDBC support for SQL Server Compact edition. Thank-you for your continuing support of SQL Server.
