Sleepycat Software is pleased to announce:

        Berkeley DB Java Edition 1.3.0 (beta)
        http://www.sleepycat.com/products/je.shtml

What is Berkeley DB Java Edition?

Berkeley DB Java Edition (JE) is a high performance, transactional
storage engine written entirely in Java. Like the highly successful
Berkeley DB product, Berkeley DB JE executes in the address space of
the application, without the overhead of client/server communication.
It stores data in the application's native format, so no runtime data
translation is required.  Berkeley DB JE supports full ACID
transactions and recovery. It provides an easy-to-use interface,
allowing programmers to store and retrieve information quickly, simply
and reliably.

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. The architecture of Berkeley DB JE
supports high performance and concurrency for both read-intensive and
write-intensive workloads.

The Berkeley DB JE architecture provides an underlying storage layer
for any Java application requiring high performance, transactional
integrity and recoverability.
