I agree with Blaine in that if you just run any component of HSQLDB as a
Java program it will be easier to understand and tweak.
I had a second look at those scripts. It seems they actually take the 'cp'
from calling the common function which is in /hsqldb/lib. HSQLDB components
do not need any context variable such as JAVA_HOME etc. so they can be run
just like any simple "hello world" application. Just check out the possible
command line arguments for different properties.

That's debatable. Give the following 2 command sets to a Java developer
and ask them
what they can infer from each about how Hsqldb works.
runUtil.sh DatabaseManagerSwing
export CLASSPATH=/path/to/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar
java org.hsqldb.util.DatabaseManagerSwing
Then, if the developer needs to adjust things a bit... Suppose their
query uses up
all of their RAM. Any Java developer who knows how to use the -X... args
will know how to adjust the 2nd command, but will have to learn how to
do it with
runUtil.sh... (if the latter is possible... I don't remember because I
don't use it).
I'm not saying that I'm right and you're wrong. I'm saying that it is
"debatable"
whether runUtil.sh helps a starter to understand the way hsql works. I have
shown why I believe that, at least in some cases, it hinders an
understanding
of how Hsqldb works.
