Yes, you are right.  The latest download includes HSQL 1.7.1.

This is as I see it the biggest advantage of using JBoss for our demo
app.  The following task is all you need in your Ant deployment target

  <copy todir="${jboss.home}/server/${jboss.server}/deploy"
    file="deploy/jboss/ticket-service.xml"/> 

(I copied this from the build script that came with the Ticket sample
application from Rod's book.)

My vote is for JBoss/HSQL.
