Kim - Appreciate the explanation. I was thinking that this might get covered in DERBY-2390.

Well, setting the JAVA_HOME variable and setting your PATH to include JAVA_HOME/bin are two separate steps. The instructions tell you to set JAVA_HOME but not to set your PATH, so the table shows how to run the command if you haven't set your PATH. I think you've identified a problem with the instructions -- they ought to tell you to set your PATH, because the subsequent instructions on using the javac and java commands assume you've set it. We need a new step 2 that tells you to set the PATH; then people can just run "java -version" without specifying JAVA_HOME/bin. Should be a quick fix if you can file a JIRA issue. Thanks for noticing this.
