It is much easier to start the Network Server now than before (10.1?),
due to various jar file improvements. With the latest releases, the
entire sections "Configure envoronment" and "Start Network Server" at
http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/DerbyTut/ns_intro.html could actually
be replaced with a paragraph showing how to run
"java -jar derbyrun.jar server start"...
Looking more closely at the tutorial, it does instruct you to download
at least 10.4.1.3, so I am ok with using the newer capabilities and
agree it would be nice to point out the derbyrun option.
Yun, could you please file an issue for tutorial improvements and attach
a patch with your change, plus add the derbyrun option? Make your patch
from the website root so the full path will be there instead of just the
directory where the change was made.
Thanks
