where is my JavaDB/Derby?

**chronoz13** · August 18th, 2012, 10:29 AM

this has been a talk around since(they say) the company co-bundled JavaDB in latest releases of java platform..
i did everything step-by-step according to the procedures stated on my IDE's(netbeans) hompage, and Oracle's page regarding with the installation of JDK 6 with a JavaDB/Derby inside of it, i found the same issues all over the web, and none of them resolved the issue

they say that in the installation that the JavaDB/Derby is included and will be installed, then where is my db folder? the derby folder?
i clicked Services in Netbeans. there is a Node for JavaDB, but i can connect to derby.. i ran the installation again, nothing happens,
there is no Sun folder, db folder inside my JDK folder, even Windows 7 search bar cant find any match when i type derby or javadb, any help please..

and by the way.. i admit i have some problem with english, so my question is is JavaDB == Derby? with my understanding on things i am reading on the web? it never says literally as it is like JavaDB is Derby.. all i can see is descriptions, stating that JavaDB is included to JDK 6 Higher and no need to install.. im hell of a potato now, baked with confusions..

hi and hello deepaksinghkushwah, Im not sure if this is just a recent reply to this old post of mine, yes i manage to solve it, dont use/install the JDK bundled with netbeans, instead use the standard edition that only has the Java platform, those ones will prompt you with installation options, sorry i forgot to post how I manage to solved it..
