I agree.  However, it would be great if Java provides more functionality in JDBC.  Such as standardize on creating databases and other administration stuffs.
Now Sun has MySQL, they're more interested in the inner working of it, and provide better Java support for all major database would be great.

I also hope of a top not database admin/client GUI in Java.  SQuirreL SQL is nice, but there are still alot to be desired.  sqldeveloper is nice, and I think most if not all of it is written in Java, but it's Oracle only.

Although setting up MySQL is easy, it would be great if it's much easier.  I just don't see why not.  It would be nice to unzip, and you have it.
Then double click to have an admin/client where you can create a database, add users, grant permission, setup to start as a service, etc., all in one place.
