How about MS SQL? I'm wondering about compatibility with MSSQL 2008 specifically. I was not part of emunie's beta program. Can someone shade some light on this?
Thanks.
Java, MySQL or Derby are needed to run eMunie so what would happen if there is an exploit or bug found in one of them? Will eMunie be able to be easily updated without causing any disruption to running clients (other then a quick update/restart)?
Java 8 will be out soon and people will most likely upgrade to it, will this cause a problem? People using Java 6 haven't had much luck running the client so It seems like Java 7 is needed that's why I am asking this question.
Of course I'm not familiar with the actual code (noone but Dan is), so I can only answer this from my experience with java applications in general.
The java runtime is (usually) upward compatible. Java 6 lacks certain features and can therefore not be used for eMunie. Java 8 OTOH should contain everything that's already in java 7, so I wouldn't expect problems there.
Database access in java is normally handled through database drivers using a standardized API. That means you can (usually) update the actual database without changing the drivers,
and you can update the drivers without modifying the application using them. For example, as a beta tester I know that eMunie does not depend on a specific version of MySQL. I've even used it with MariaDB instead of MySQL.

Much appreciated!
I consider myself a good coder (Java, C#, C/C++), and I did a little bit of HTML (I really don't consider myself a web designer). I hope I will be given a chance to own a piece of NEM. I'm new to cryptocurrency, but I'm a fast learner and I'm sure I'll have something to contribute. Thanks for the opportunity. 
If not, why haven't you done it?
