Hi Jean,
This sounds fine. I was planning on highlighting the license issue in
the Release Notes anyway.

how's this for consolidating yours and mine latest:
This documentation references new JDBC 4.0 functionality that is not
enabled in this Apache Derby 10.2 release because a final Java SE 6
release was not available when this release was produced. JDBC 3.0 will
be available by default when used with a Java SE 6 virtual machine. JDBC
4.0 functionality will only be available to developers who download Java
SE 6 themselves and with it build Derby's optional JDBC 4.0 support.
Please see the Release Notes for details on how to build this optional
JDBC 4.0 functionality. ***Please also note the licensing restrictions
which limit your use of beta versions of Java SE 6. The beta JDK may
only be used for evaluation purposes; the same restriction applies to
Derby's JDBC 4.0 support when built using the beta version of Java SE 6.***
Can we move the portion I highlighted with *** into the release notes
since developers will have to look at that info to understand how to
build in jdbc 4? --I don't think we need to be in the business of
educating users on the license in the reference guide pages I want to
update.

Hi Jean,
This looks great. I'd like to roll up David's observation and tweek this
a bit more:
This documentation references new JDBC 4.0 functionality that is not
enabled in this Apache Derby 10.2 release because a final Java SE 6
release is not available yet. JDBC 3.0 will be available by default when
used with Java SE 6. JDBC 4.0 functionality will only be
available to developers who download Java SE 6 themselves and

Notes
for details on how to build this optional JDBC 4.0 functionality.
Please also note the licensing restrictions which limit your use

evaluation purposes; the same restriction applies to Derby's
JDBC 4.0 support when built using the beta version of Java SE 6.

Scratch that first attempt -- already caught an ambiguity. Second try:

I'm looking for wording we can plug into both the release notes and
strategic pages in the documentation. How does this sound?
This documentation references new JDBC 4.0 functionality that is not
enabled in this Apache Derby 10.2 release. Until a final Java SE 6
release is available, JDBC 3.0 will be available by default when used
with a Java SE 6 beta build. JDBC 4.0 functionality will only be
available to developers who download Java SE 6 themselves and build
Derby with it.
tweaks? comments? corrections?
thanks,
