Hi Siamak,
Some work has already gone into creating management tools for Derby.
Please take a look at DERBY-1387. That issue describes a JMX-based
scheme for managing Derby servers and databases. It would be great if
you could piggyback your work on top of those JMX extensions. I think
you will discover that the people working on the JMX beans are wrestling
with (and solving) the same issues which you will need to face as you
build a management gui.
Thanks,
-Rick

Hello,
Recently I was able to test Netbeans' JavaDB (derby) GUI tools and I
should say it was a very enjoyable experience. But I also had some
problems.
- I normally create the database directory inside my program's
directory and then use embedded driver to connect it.
- Netbeans creates its directory in a specific place and it is
difficult to change it to your own directory and back to its initial
one every time. (to be able to manage several databases)
- I want it to be able to manage different derby directories easily
(in addition be able to manage/connect a databases using socket and
TCP).
Now, is there a GUI available which does all these things?
If not then I might be interested in a project to build such a thing
(like Netbeans' JavaDB interface but as a separate application which
also handles mentioned issues easily).
I appreciate if you can give me feedback on this.
Regards,
Mac
