Sure thing. Need some details:
1. Where are you sourcing your docs?
2. What did you download? (example)
http://apache.mirror.iweb.ca//db/derby/db-derby-10.7.1.1/derby_core_plugin_10.7.1.zip
http://apache.mirror.iweb.ca//db/derby/db-derby-10.7.1.1/derby_ui_doc_plugin_1.1.2.zip
3. What did you get when you extracted the zips? (example)

4. If you expect actual help from a mailing list supported by an
open-source community and suggesting that we do nothing other than waste
our time is probably not productive. Take a minute and peruse some good
advice:

I am a BRAND NEW programmer. Even newer to JAVA. I have done mosty
.NET things. But I really want to learn JAVA more!! However I have
wasted two days now, and this seems to be a pattern in the open source
world.
I am getting sick and tired of following directions and then spending
days and weeks trying to figure out why the directions did not work?
Did I not follow them?? Did the person giving the directions leave
out steps?? Maybe they assumed the missing steps would be known by
the user?
I SIMPLY WANT TO SET UP Eclipse and Derby on my PC and start
learning. All I do with my time is try to figure out why the
directions to set this combo up always fail.
Here is what I am trying to do:
1.I downloaded Eclipse JEE
2.Then I downloaded the plugin things for Derby.
Unzip the core plugin files into the Eclipse home directory. The
location where you installed Eclipse is referred to as ECLIPSE_HOME.
For instance, this might be /eclipse in a Linux or Unix environment or
C:/eclipse on Windows. Unzip the files to the ECLIPSE_HOME directory.
Copy the entire directory from the ui and help file plugin projects
into the plugins directory. For instance you should have a a folder
called org.apache.derby.ui_1.1.1 and org.apache.derby.plugin.doc_1.1.1
after downloading and creating the plug-in project in Eclipse. Three
new subdirectories should now exist under the ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins
directory:
* org.apache.derby.core_10.3.1
* org.apache.derby.ui_1.1.1
* org.apache.derby.plugin.doc_1.1.1
* My first problem is this: "I do not have a
org.apache.derby.core_10.3.1 folder!!!!!! I did this on two
PC's and got the same result! What am I doing wrong???? Why do
I not have the org.apache.derby.core_10.3.1 folder???? I cannot
continue with other steps without manipulating files in that
folder. Please help me.
Thanks,
Dave
