Learn How to Download and Run Apache Derby in Eclipse: Using the Derby Core and UI Plug-ins



In its present form the Derby Core plug-in contains only three jar files - derby.jar, derbytools.jar, derbynet.jar. The functionality of the core plug-in makes available these jar files, and thus the Derby database to Eclipse users. Using only this plug-in means manually adding the Derby jar files to the Java Build path in Eclipse. The plug-in is available for download (or to build) at the Apache Derby web site. Note: the core plug-in does not add these jars to an Eclipse user's classpath. They are installed in the Eclipse plug-ins directory, but are not associated with any particular project.


Presently there is only one plug-in hosted at Apache, the Derby core plug-in. The core plug-in can be downloaded via a web page as a zip file, from the Apache web site downloads page. The source for the existing Derby plug-in can be checked out via SVN and built using the same ant script used to build the derby jar files. The source for the new plug-in should also be able to be checked out, as well as downloaded in its binary form.

The 'ui' plugin adds the derbytools.jar to the project build/run path, this enables the Derby tools like 'ij' and 'sysinfo' to be run within the Eclipse environment. The ability to run the 'dblook' utility has not been yet been provided.


Since the core plug-in will now have an addtional jar file contained in it, namely derbyclient.jar, the java class, DerbyEclipsePlugin.java, that creates the plugin.xml file for the existing core plug-in will need to be modified to include derbyclient.jar.


Derby Plugin for EclipseGet the Derby Plugin for Eclipse(derby_core_plugin_10.2.2.zip and derby_ui_plugin_1.1.0.zip),available at _downloads.html.Note: The plugins contain the Derby engine. You don'tneed to download the standard Derby distribution for this tutorial.


Unzip the two Derby Eclipse plugins(derby_core_plugin_10.2.2.zip and derby_ui_plugin_1.1.0.zip) intoyour eclipse installation folder (ECLIPSE_ROOT). Detailedinstructions are available here: _howto.html#Installing+the+plug-ins


In your ECLIPSE_ROOT/plugins folder, you should have a foldernamed org.apache.derby.core_10.2.2. Copy the filederbyclient.jar from that folder to your TOMCAT_ROOT/lib folder (ifyou're using Tomcat 5.x, install into TOMCAT_ROOT/common/lib). Thisinstalls the Derby JDBC driver into Tomcat for use in a DataSource.


The binary version of the core plug-in, which does not include the source, is available for download on each Derby release page at downloads.html.Download the derby_core_plugin_10.3.1.zip fromthe Derby10.3.1.4 release page. To obtain the source for the UI anddocumentation plug-ins in the form of an Eclipse PDE (Plug-in Development Environment) project first check out the source at trunk/plugins/eclipse/org.apache.derby.ui for the UI plugin, and trunk/plugins/eclipse/org.apache.derby.plugin.doc for the documentation plugin. See the document Readme.txt for complete instructions on how to build these two plugins from the source.


Unzip the core plugin files into the Eclipse home directory. The location where you installed Eclipse is referred to as ECLIPSE_HOME. For instance, this might be /eclipse in a Linux or Unix environment or C:/eclipse on Windows. Unzip the files to the ECLIPSE_HOME directory.Copy the entire directory from the ui and help file plugin projects intothe plugins directory. For instance you should have a a folder calledorg.apache.derby.ui_1.1.1 and org.apache.derby.plugin.doc_1.1.1 afterdownloading and creating the plug-in project in Eclipse.Three new subdirectories should now exist under the ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins directory:


The below command activates a gradle plugin (OWASP) and Identifies and reports known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in OFBiz library dependencies. This command takes a long time to execute because it needs to download all plugin dependencies and the CVE identification process is also time consuming


If target runtime is not setup, create a new target runtime pointing to geronimo installation directory. For more information, look at the geronimo documentation that explains setting up eclipse plugin for geronimo and setting up runtime environment. This setup is required to resolve class dependencies during compilation. 2ff7e9595c
