Hi Bryan, thanks for your response; my answers below.
Yes, this is a version of Derby I have built from source; specifically, trunk revision 1720848 The steps I take are: I build per build page <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/BUILDING.html>. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/BUILDING.html The jardriftcheck step fails (see error below), but the jars are built (see listing below). Then, I run RunOptimizerTest.java within netbeans by right clicking on the file and selecting "Run File". This gives the output shown in my first mail. It seems like some setup is missing; do I need to create a database before attempting to run the test? Is the jardriftcheck error a blocker? Do I need to resolve that before trying to test? The netbeans project does show errors in some modules (mostly not being able to resolve packages like javax.servlet) I followed the instructions here to load derby in netbeans: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/BuildingDerby#Using_NetBeans_to_Build_Derby I'd like to get to the stage where I can debug/step through the derby code, so any help much appreciated!
