quests

I am building a game in jMonkey (Java) and I have so far only used default quest text. But now I need to start populating a lot of quests with text. My design requires A LOT of quests texts.

What is the best way to build a database of quest texts in jMonkey? I don't have a lot of real experience with databases. Is there a database that integrates well with jMonkey?

Here are the ideal properties I want in my database, in order of priority:

Reasonably light learning curve
Easy portability (in Java) to Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX
Good interface with Java
Good interface with jMonkey
The ability to add properties to the quests: ID, level, gender, quest chain ID, etc.

Or am I wrong in thinking I need to use some giant monster like SQL? I haven't been able to find much information on this, so are people using some non-database methods for storing things like quest text in jMonkey?
