Why don’t Berkeley DB and Berkeley DB Java Edition both implement a shared set of Java interfaces for the API? Why are these two similar APIs in different Java packages?
In the past, we’ve discussed whether it makes sense to provide a set of interfaces that are implemented by the Berkeley DB JE API and the Java API for Berkeley DB. We looked into this during the design of JE and decided against it because in general it would complicate things for “ordinary” users of both JE and DB.
