Java DB is Sun supported distribution of Apache Derby. It is an open source database. Portal Server uses Java DB as a database for functionality, such as Wiki, File Sharing, Community, and so on. You can also connect to Java DB using NetBeans as an IDE. In NetBeans, you need to provide the location of the Java DB and the location where you wish to create the database.

So it has nothing to do with Java? Why do Sun insist on branding products with the 'java' keyword - I suppose it's meant to promote the product, but personally I don't write Java code and so it stops me investigating further.

Well, you can use Apache Derby then ;-) No Java word in that one... http://db.apache.org/derby/
