I have now included [1] some basic support for Derby in both the
build.xml ant script and the createdb-raw.sql. I almost have a fully
working version of Roller against Derby, but I'm having problems
mostly with Hibernate. Hibernate 2.1 is really out of date and their
dialects are not fully working for either db2 or derby. As a matter of
fact, I had to write my own DerbyDialect (included in the patch) to
get some of the queries working. Basically, I'm able to register a
user, create a weblog and post entries. The dashboard is not working
because of the use of LIMIT in the queries. I'm also encountering some
problems with SQL functions (sum, etc) in Derby. I'll keep on hacking
away until I get this working though.

Dave, let me know if I can help you with any questions you might have
regarding the patch.

Thanks again,

Elias
