Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-3444:
--------------------------------------
This code was developed as part of a presentation which I gave at the Java
Mobile and Embedded Developer Days conference. The conference was sponsored by
Sun, Forum Nokia, and BetaVine: https://developerdays.dev.java.net/ I
deliberately built the demo completely out of Apache parts. It is an all
open-source, all Apache effort. I suppose that I could host this demo someplace
else. I think that will tend to draw attention and developers away from Derby.
I'd rather grow the Derby community.
This demo is larger and more complex than our other demos. Qualitatively, I
don't see a distinction though. Those other demos were also developed by
individuals and revealed when they were complete. I find these demos are very
helpful in discussions with the user community. A good example can get a user
unstuck fast. It seems to me that all real databases give their customers lots
of demos, including complex ones. "Building database technology" is much
bigger than just writing engine code. It also includes the following:
1) Building usable demos
2) Writing readable documentation
3) Improving build/test processes
I think that this code is appropriate for Derby. Code like this can potentially
invite another class of developers, viz. the mobile and embedded folks, into
our community.
