Setting Location of Java DB Database in NetBeans 6.7

2 blog entries until number 500

Hi all,

I have several versions of the NetBeans IDE installed on my Mac. Occasionally, I'll update to a newer version of the GlassFish application server as well. Because both NetBeans and GlassFish are constantly undergoing improvements, sometimes directories get renamed, and pesky little warning messages pop up. A couple of days ago, I got such a message, politely letting me know that the location of my Java DB database server was set incorrectly: This is what I did to correct this:

1. I went to the Services window and expanded the Databases node.
2. I right-clicked the Java DB node and chose Properties, as seen in the following image.
   
   The Java DB Properties dialog box opens.
In the dialog box, I browsed for the location of Java DB. I found it in my SUNWappserver directory.

3. I clicked OK, and then I was able to start the database server by right-clicking the Java DB node again and choosing Start Server.
