Databases
Java DB (or Derby, or Cloudscape if you prefer) 10.2 beta is available for download at http://people.apache.org/~rhillegas/10.2.1.0-beta/.
There has not been a feature release since august 2005, so this should be what Java DB/Derby users are waiting for. New features include:
Scrollable Updatable Result Sets
JDBC4
Grant/Revoke
Online Backup
Stronger Network Authentication
