Right now....without a database I just create a new jar file for the app and
install that one.
If I do that with the embedded database, I think the old DB will be
overwritten.
So when the app is packaged, are they seperate...or what?
This is a small application....not worth more than one jar file...unless
using this embedded database calls for a different deployment strategy.
