Hi,
This Wiki page contains information on using Eclipse to build Derby by
Jean.

nah, jean stole that from old email somebody else posted. Recently I
didn't have much luck using those instructions on either linux or mac osx.

One missing step is to install the subclipse plugin from
subclipse.tigris.org.

I almost got it working on mac osx, but their were lots of errors
compiling (it compiles fine outside eclipse). I'm guessing I was missing
some configuration, but ran out of time. I'll try again unless somebody
beats me to it.

Derby cannot be built within Eclipse yet, because of the dependencies on 
multiple jdks.
However it can be built using Ant within Eclipse.

Before that ensure auto building of the codeline within Eclipse is 
turned off by unchecking:
Window - Preferences - Workbench - Build automatically
Window - Preferences - Run/Debug - Launching - Build (if required) 
before launching

Also make sure the location of ant.properties file is available to 
Eclipse. I have mine  in  "user.home" directory,  can be
verified using    System.getProperty("user.home")

My $0.02.
