Well, there's also Apache Derby, which, IIRC, has been turned into JavaDB or some such and has been shoehorned into the J2SE runtimes as of Java 6.

Speaking as a programmer though, the move from some sort of internal map (even (or especially) XML driven) to a RDBMS (even a zero maintenance, embedded database like Derby), would be Decidedly Non-Trivial.  There are various technologies (like JDO and Hibernate) to make it a little less painful, but you are suddenly dragging around 3 times the footprint you used to have, for what would appear to be a very minor gain.
