I was running 10.6. Upgraded to 10.7 and encountered the same NPE. Downgraded to 10.3 and 10.2 but got a different error Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby:memory:testdb;create=true What could be a problem there? Older versions do not have driver autoloading. You will need to add: Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver").newInstance(); to your code in the beginning to get the driver loaded.
