I can't speak officially for Sun, but I do know that it has always been
the intent of the Sun Derby development team for *all*
patches/bugfixes/changes made for customers of Java DB to be made in the
Derby code base, not on some separate forked version of the code.

We do a *lot* of testing, including long-running tests and large
database size tests. We're trying to add more and more tests,
robustness and compatibility are key goals for many of us on this team.
If you really need a production-level support, you should probably go
through Sun (Java DB) or IBM (Cloudscape).

This then begs the question....
Suppose a *supported* customer finds a bug. Does that mean that either SUN
or IBM which offers support, will fix said bug? Will they then release it
back to the general community, or do they intend to maintain their own
patched distribution chain?
I know I've asked this question a couple of times, yet no one from either
Sun or IBM are willing to respond.
