HSQLDB is the leading SQL relational database engine written in Java. It has a JDBC driver and supports a rich subset of ANSI-92 SQL (BNF tree format) plus SQL 99 and 2003 enhancements. It offers a small (less than 100k in one version for applets), fast database engine which offers both in-memory and disk-based tables and supports embedded and server modes.

There is a built-in but very simple gui in Hsqldb. However, for Access like interface, You will have to wait Open Office 2 (will be out some time soon). it uses Hsqldb for its database tool.
There are plenty Java universal database GUI's available. They connect to multiple databases, and they are really handy in multi database situations.. My favorite is AquaSoft's data studio.
