Finally I've got the "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" message. So yes i was trying to set up my build and test environment and now it's up and working. This great document <http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/BuildingDerby> helped me a lot (thanks to JohnHEmbretsen) even if (there is a but :) ) munching that we need to add JUnit in this document will be more helpful (it's sad in the BUILDING.txt<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/BUILDING.txt>anyway). And *the step 5*<http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/BuildingDerby#head-681537d04a4de5433e397238dd9bf22eaf8611cb>didn't really work for me (i am using NB6 + windows) because when i add *ant.library.dir=<path>* (and after clicking OK ) the build fail (ant problems) and when i try to redo the step 5 the path I've already added looked strange (may be a Netbeans bug??) so i changed this property in build.xml file (change ${ant.library.dir} to your path in tow places).
In another hand it will be great to have someone in the IRC channel to talk to. *Khaled*
