------------------------------

Hi Rick, 

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Couple of more questions.

Do you think that rewriting code with new enhancements in JAVA Language will be beneficial to DERBY from any point of view.

Theoretically, without having had a detailed look at the architecture and code, I feel there may be chances of improvement.

Dunno if practically that effort would yield noticeable improvements. Experienced developers in DERBY  should be able to throw some light on this.

I am referring to performance improvements in newer JAVA versions if they can be incorporated.

Language improvements and new Features, would not always be performance related.

> Is it possible to auto modify the existing source code using tools like Netbeans, and take advantage of the new features in JDK 1.8 for better multiuser performance and better utilization of current day multicore processors?
> Plainly put, can we have from 11.0 onwards a version of derby which takes advantage of the advancements and new features in java 1.8 ...
