Rick Hillegas (one of the original developers of Apache Derby) will share his thoughts on Java DB (a.k.a. Apache Derby), a free, pure Java relational database, which is co-bundled in the Java 6 JDK. Rock-solid and feature-rich, Java DB nevertheless fits in a 2.5M jar file. Rick’s talk will cover Java DB’s history, capabilities, community, and popular use cases.
