That's a great point. JRebel's the kind of tool I imagine a lot of middle-sized (not startup sized, not yet enterprise) codebases probably haven't evaluated, so I'd imagine it's tied to MySQL being a frequent choice for new apps and the quick choice for a one-off internal app in the enterprise.

While this is anecdotal, like you I've find the DBs most of the Java apps I encounter aren't MySQL, but a mix of Postgres, MSSQL and Oracle.

Unfortunately this is exactly the kind of anecdotal which just doesn't work. Popularity of tools and technologies varies greatly between geographies, industries and maturity. E.g. English-speaking world and German-speaking world value tools and techs in entirely different ways.
