Hi Dan. Welcome to Apache.
Among other hats, I'm one of the developers of the Axion database project, which is one of your neighbors here in the Incubator and in the future likely one of your neighbors in the Apache DB project. I, and I think others on the Axion development team, are looking forward to exploring areas of collaboration. The little I know of Derby suggests there's a lot of potential synergies here. Indeed, assuming sufficient overlap of social, technical, functional and design goals we may want to look toward eventual consolidation.
While we're waiting for the Derby codebase to be loaded onto trucks and shipped over to Apache-land, it might be helpful for outsiders if you or someone else familiar with the codebase could provide an overview of how Derby is structured internally.

(PS: I'm going to be going offline sometime tomorrow for about a week. If I don't respond to a query during that time, don't take it personally.)

Welcome to Apache Derby!
Hello all, my name is Dan Debrunner and I'm excited to be a committer on the Apache Derby database. I encourage everyone to get involved and help build vibrant user and developer communities for Derby.
I'm employed by IBM and have been working on the Cloudscape product since its inception as a start-up company in Oakland, California in 1996. Informix Software acquired Cloudscape, Inc in 1999 and IBM acquired the Cloudscape technology through its purchase of the Informix Software database assets in 2001. For most of that time I was the architect for Cloudscape. Prior to that I spent an additional seven years working on database internals at Sybase, Illustra and Informix.
Dan.
