I get your point - why write it when there's a DB. 1) It's another 1.5 MB jar added to the app, introducing more classes to scan on startup for Providers, Models, etc. 2) The data producing module would have to be rewritten to produce whatever H2DB consumes. Changing this would be just few lines change.
