Getting started guide: Incomplete instructions for compiling WwdEmbedded.java
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-3518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3518
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 10.3.2.1
            Reporter: John H. Embretsen
            Priority: Minor


In the Getting Started with Derby manual's Self-study tutorial for users new to 
Derby, there is an Activity 3 which describes how to run a JDBC program using 
the embedded driver: 
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/twwdactivity3_Setup.html .
In step 2, the guide says:

<quote>
Compile the WwdEmbedded.java program.

javac WwdEmbedded.java
</quote>

Since WwdEmbedded.java (available from 
<bin-installation>/demo/programs/workingwithderby/) references the WwdUtils 
class, WwdUtils.java needs to be copied and compiled as well. Otherwise, 
compiling will fail with:

WwdEmbedded.java:80: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : variable WwdUtils
location: class WwdEmbedded
             if (! WwdUtils.wwdChk4Table(conn))
                   ^
WwdEmbedded.java:92: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : variable WwdUtils
location: class WwdEmbedded
                answer = WwdUtils.getWishItem();
                         ^
2 errors

The manual should be updated to reflect this requirement.
