I agree that we shouldn't introduce more dependencies if we can avoid it, and
this depends heavily on the requirements. So, is a DB system the only answer
to your requirements?
On the other hand: Derby is included in Sun JVM's >= 1.6, and I had a look at
the Ganymede site. There is a bundle that includes the derby.jar, and this
bundle is provided by a single feature without additional dependencies:
org.apache.derby.core_10.3.1.4.
But before introducing additional dependencies we really need a reason.
