Java DB now available

Good news for Apache Derby - another Big Company has gotten behind Derby 
and is providing support for it.  Sun's Java DB is now officially 
available for download at

   http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=44244f49

Java DB's "home" can be found at

   http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javadb

Also, the article talking about how to use Java DB in the desktop got 
top billing at http://java.sun.com

Disclaimer: if you hadn't noticed by my email address and my enthusiasm 
for Java DB, I work for Sun :)

The main added value is support.  At this point we don't do anything but 
ship a stable release of Derby (this current download is a distribution 
of 10.1.1).

Part of the charter of Java DB is to not "fork" from Apache Derby.  At 
some point Sun may add value on top of Derby (like Cloudscape does with 
its installer and other things) but we wouldn't ship our own "special" 
version of the bits that come out of Apache.
