David and All,
A nice up-and-coming open Java geodatabase format is H2 +
spatial extensions.
The H2 database is by the same guy that wrote that HSQL db. H2
has some good properties, most importantly, it's small (1 Mb),
works well in embedded mode, and is fast. Adding in spatial
data in JTS format, and providing a spatial index, is the
basic concept.
Two implementations that I know of are
1. The French research group IRSTV, lead programmer seems to
be Erwan Bocher.
<A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://geosysin.iict.ch/irstv-trac/wiki/H2spatial/Download">http://geosysin.iict.ch/irstv-trac/wiki/H2spatial/Download</A>
2. GeoTools has a H2 spatial module, written by Justin Deoliveira.
Here's a link to the compiled jars:
<A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://maven.geotools.fr/repository/org/geotools/gt2-h2/2.5-SNAPSHOT/">http://maven.geotools.fr/repository/org/geotools/gt2-h2/2.5-SNAPSHOT/</A>
Both are under active development.
regards,
-Frank

Hey Folks,
Just wondering if there is still thought out there from the previous
thread about a portable and open geodatabase. I came across the

Thought that might be a good place to start that is already using
geometry in sqlite.
As for software adoptions it looks like GRASS already has an
