Hi, IBM supports Apache Derby, too. Of course, IBM's distribution is Cloudscape, like Sun's. In my memory, Derby=Java DB=Cloudscape. In fact, IBM and Sun respectively provide some developers to build the database in Apache community. But...it said that there's a bit of difference between the distributions. But...I think the tiny differences isn't a trouble. Most importantly, you should contact one of the corporations, then make your decision.
Thanks! a cup of Java, cheers!
