I am +0 on H2 and -0 on JavaDB/Derby, on the basis of the devil we know, 
and to reduce duplication.

I am not all that happy with H2. My attempts to fix a nasty EPSG 
empty-/tmp fail-once unit test (see discussion in GEOT-1917) led to me 
attempting to get it to flush its tables to disk in a reasonable way, 
resulting in pain and woe. But Andrea squished this bug, and my one 
negative finding is negated by the experience he has won.

Many excellent open source projects have started as one-man bands. If 
the code and practices are good, it should be fine.

Sun's approach to many bugs is often to say that they will never be 
fixed, to preserve compatibility, and to leave the bugs closed, followed 
by up to eight years of developer pleading. Sometimes the pleading comes 
from other Sun teams. See the TCK team's bugs filed against Swing. I 
would not rely on Sun support unless you are paying them.
