java

Hi, i have to choice a database to use in server-mode for a java desktop application.

I think both are great java database.

In my opinion (im NOT well-informed):

H2 PRO

Is java based
Develeopment say it is very very fast
Easy to install, configure and use with java application

H2 CONS

Is a young project
Reliability doubt for commercial porpouse

FireBird PRO

Rock solid project
Well documented
Should be fast and well optimized for large data
Has a java driver...

FireBird CONS

It is not java based
... ?

So, i can't choice between this great db, can i have a suggestion?

Thank.
