BDB-JE does not have a a JDBC driver. It has a java API to read/write.
I just looked at this license - unfortunately it has a GPL like clause:
* 3. Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on
* how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any
* accompanying software that uses the DB software.
So a company that wanted to base their product on Solr would then have
to go and buy a license from Oracle. Not nice, and we should avoid
IMO.
Other licenses like LGPL would be OK I think - we can't
store/distribute in Apache, but it doesn't force users to give away
the store either.
Please consider using JDBM, now in the Apache incubator, but with a long
history at SF.net and wide usage. Its API is essentially the same as BDB.
