In several of the Activities in Working With Derby, the instructions have the user type the following command to run ij
java -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar ij If the user has set up the DERBY_HOME environment variable, why can't they just type "ij" to start the tool? The instructions in the Getting Started Guide are a little confusing... Please see the section "Ways to run the tools" in this file: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/cgsusingtoolsutils.html In the second bullet, it indicates that the user should use the java command when "... you already have a Java executable in your path and you do not want to change your path in order to run the tools" What is not clear to me is: 1) Does this mean that the user does not set the DERBY_HOME environment variable ??? OR 2) Does this mean that the user does not set the JAVA_HOME environment variable ??? OR 3) Does this mean that the user does not set the PATH to DERBY_HOME/bin ??? -- Laura Stewart
