"Sqlite database browser, because aqua does not support sqlite."

It does, with SQLite JDBC driver from http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/

To get it to work you add SQLite JDBC driver to your java path, and then datasource URL is something like "jdbc:sqlite:/path/to/your.db" and driver is "org.sqlite.JDBC".

Ahh, super tip :) thanks,

i got it working with:
1. Downloading the java version from http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/
2. Register new server, choose Generic JDBC
3. Set:
URL: jdbc:sqlite:[path to file.db]
Driver: org.sqlite.JDBC
Driver Location: [path]/sqlitejdbc-v037-nested.jar
