Do you add the hsqldb.jar from the program/classes directory, or another version from elsewhere? In the latter case, I could imagine a versioning conflict, such a scenario is hard up to impossible to support. In the first case (using the very same hsqldb.jar which is also used internally for embedded HSQLDBs), it sounds like a bug. Do you, by chance, get the stack of the NullPointerException displayed?
