Java DB 10.5.1.1 has just been posted on the Java DB site. This release contains the exact same jar files as, and is functionally equivalent to, the recently released Apache Derby 10.5.1.1. In addition, you get

• installers for Solaris, Linux and Windows
• the option to register and track your Java DB installations in Sun Inventory
  
• the option to buy support from Sun

For more information about what's new in Java DB 10.5.1.1, see my previous blog entries about Apache Derby 10.5.1.1, the Apache Derby site and the Java DB site.
