I posted a question to the EasySoft web site a while ago and received a
detailed response this morning. Martin gave me permission to forward
this to the list -- see below.

We do support Cloudscape 10 and all versions of Derby. The pages you
refer to on our web site were to demonstrate the difference between 4
and 5 when forming the JDBC URL. We had not realised this might confuse
people into thinking we only support cloudscape 4 and 5 and I have asked
web development to change this - thanks.

We would be happy for you to list the Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway (OJG).
I can confirm that we retested OJG with Cloudscape 10.1 this morning and
we have customers who use OJG with Cloudscape and Apache/Derby. Here is
the info we used:

URL:
jdbc:derby://localhost/C:\Program
Files\IBM\Cloudscape_10.1\demo\databases\toursDB

Class Path: c:\jars\derbyclient.jar

Driver class: org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

If you need to mention a link to OJG, the correct one would be:
http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc_jdbc_gateway/index.html

If you need anything more from us please to not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
