I asked the same question a while back now, as I also
preferred hsql for speed and the text format which
made tweaking data easy for development.
Derby does have it's problems, but it also has better
db functionality like foreign keys. I've not compared
the two lately so wont list features but it was
considered to be better to have a more restrictive db
for development to catch bugs earlier in the process.
Basically I couldn't argue against that and haven't
yet seen a better replacment for Derby.
Maybe Oracle's new freebie db hmmmm.....
