Hiran Chaudhuri commented on DERBY-7115: ---------------------------------------- Just for completion: I was wondering why the AutoloadedDriver was not loaded on my system. When loading it manually I received an error message that the class was compiled by a more recent JDK. Switching from JDK8 to JDK11 already helped - but this error was not visible from the autoloader. With this in mind, the tutorial should state to use a recent enough JDK and may drop the need to load the driver manually (Class.forName(...)). > Outdated documentation 'Getting Started' > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-7115 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7115 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation > Affects Versions: 10.15.2.0 > Reporter: Hiran Chaudhuri > Priority: Minor > > I just tried to start a new project using the Derby embedded database.
