Are there any embedded spatial databases for Java? I've come across H2 Spatial, but it was difficult to tell the status of that and if it can be used as an embedded spatial database.

thanks,

Jeff

It looks like the embedded hsql db does what I need... mvnbrowser.com/… – Jeff Storey Sep 21 '10 at 3:28
SpatiaLit bostongis.com/… also looks promising. – Jeff Storey Sep 21 '10 at 18:54

You could try Hatbox (http://hatbox.sourceforge.net/derbyquickstart.html) from the web page:

Hatbox has two distinct parts: the core library and a Geotools DataStore. The core library can be used entirely independently of the Geotools DataStore. This quick start will use only the core library to get data into your new Hatbox spatialized table and to issue spatial queries on it. It will focus on using Hatbox with JavaDB (Sun's packaging of Apache Derby) simply because it comes as part of a Sun JDK 6 install.

I successfully used Hatbox with H2. Thanks so much. – Jeff Storey Oct 12 '10 at 2:03

GeoDB (http://github.org/jdeolive/geodb) is exactly what you need. It's an extension to H2 based on JTS. There also is a Hibernate dialect for geodb (http://www.hibernatespatial.org/hibernate-spatial-h2-geodb/).
