Hi,
JDBM is key value embedded java database. It provides java collections
backed-up by disk storage. JDBM is also very fast (million inserts per
second). It also has instance cache, transactions and other goodies.
More details at [1].
I would like to restart 3 years old discussion [2] about making it
ApacheDB subproject.
Hi Jan,
The Apache DB PMC is unable to act as the Sponsor and/or Champion at
this time, and there are concerns regarding the community aspect of the
proposed project. In any case, all new projects must go through the
Incubator - there are no exceptions to this rule.
It looks a bit daunting, but [1] contains important information.
To move the effort forward, you need to find a Champion for the proposed
project. If you don't know how to go on about that, I suggest you
contact the Incubator at [2] - they should be able to ask the right
questions and provide the guidance needed. You may find what you need to
know in the archives [3].
Regards,

I believe that JDBM in last 12 years proved itself as viable project.
And new JDBM3 with its speed and agility has chances for massive
adoption. So I think it is good moment to stabilize development a bit
and get strong partner.
Personally I am committed to maintaining JDBM as I did for last three
years. Our community is not big, I am only regular dev. But JDBM is
very 'hackable' and we often get patches from strangers.
I think JDBM3 is ready to become Apache sub project:
- well traced history of contributions, only 3 main devs
- already under Apache 2 licence
- changing package name is not problem (JDBM3 has completely new API
and zero adoption)
- uses Maven2 including website
- good unit test coverage
JDBM3 is currently in alpha stage. It should reach beta in about three
months. Stable probably in a year or two.
After JDBM3 is stable I will make it rock stable and concentrate on
tools around (spring and JTA integration, .NET port etc...)
