Agreed, and I think we could do a better job of encouraging more
contributions "around" the engine as a way to get started with Derby.

Examples are:

  Sample applications.

  Admin/Query servlets -  I was talking to Susan Cline on the flight
back from Apachecon last night and she said it would be great if there
was some web-based api to Derby, either as an example or as a starting
point for a complete web-based api. The servlets coupled with an
embedded servlet container like Jetty would be very cool.

Interesting you're mentioning this...as part of the browser embedded derby Ajax demo I showed at ApacheCon, I developed a tiny HTTP request service interface to Derby which issues queries against this last one and return data in XML format (only one supported at this time) - this is not a full blown web server obviously and does not need to be - just enough to send queries to Derby via HTTP and get data back in XML...footprint obviously is very low...

A JMX interface to Derby for Admin/Monitoring purposes would be nice as well....
