Further research of, e.g. 'lucene-bdb' and 'activemq-bdb-store' POM files in
Maven Central indicates that the simply include a reference to the
'com.sleepycat:je' artifact, so I see no problem imitating this behaviour. We
should probably link to the Oracle page on BDB Maven access in the release
notes when mentioning the extra Maven artifacts. The relevant page is here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads/maven-087630.html
I have additionally upgraded the BDB version to 4.0.117, as this is the version
in the 4.0.x stream that Oracle publish links to, including the POM file. See
the download page, here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads/index-098622.html
Cheers,
Andrew.
