. Java-1.5 is required to build (although the result is usable with 1.4 as well) -- reflect this in pkg-descr for the user and in Makefile for the build process . add a patch for the "occasionaly" failing test -- on advice from Oracle: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=431242 . enable automatic testing post-build -- the tests stress out both Java and JE and their failure may be a nice canary for our mine.

This is a pure-Java implementation of Berkeley DB by SleepyCat (now

|
Oracle). Java-1.5 is required for building, although the result should
|
|
be usable with 1.4 too. From the

"Berkeley DB JE was designed from the ground up in Java. It takes full
|
|
advantage of the Java environment. The Berkeley DB JE API provides a
|
|
Java Collections-style interface, as well as a programmatic interface
|
|
similar to the Berkeley DB API.
|
|
|
|
Berkeley DB JE is different from all other Java databases available
|
|
today. Berkeley DB JE is not a relational engine built in Java. It
|
|
is a Berkeley DB-style embedded store, with an interface designed
|
|
for programmers, not DBAs. Berkeley DB JE's architecture employs a
|
|
log-based, no-overwrite storage system, enabling high concurrency and
|
|
speed while providing ACID transactions and record-level locking.
|
|
Berkeley DB JE efficiently caches most commonly used data in memory,
|
|
without exceeding application-specified limits. In this way Berkeley
|
|
DB JE works with an application to use available JVM resources while
|
|
providing access to very large data sets.
|
|
|
|
The Berkeley DB JE architecture provides an underlying storage layer
|
|
for any Java application requiring high performance, transactional
|
|
integrity and recoverability."
