I don't think anyone doubts the value; just the funding. We also don't have 
the best record of two-way collaboration with OpenJUMP. 

There is also a java api; if you were willing to do the same dummy jar approach 
currently employed for arcsde. Make a jar with stub methods so we can compile 
the code in our normal java build process as a "compile" dependency; and sub in 
the actual esri jar (which we cannot distribute) as an "provided" dependency 
for those using the code?

A nice approach for this is to develop against the real jar; and then change 
dependency; and then add methods to fix all the compile errors.

But yes setting up a datastore based on ContentDataStore could be done fairly 
quickly.
