Thanks for the clarification, Snjezana.

Given that JavaDB will be available in TP2 but Update Tool will
require an additional installation step, does it make sense to
*not* talk about Update Tool in the QSG? I mean, I say only a
little about Update Tool now, in part so readers know what I'm
talking about when I tell them that they have to use it to get
JavaDB. Now that JavaDB is in the TP2 distribution after all, I
don't think we really gain anything in a QSG context by talking
about Update Tool. How do others feel about this?

Thanks,

Scott
