Re: Updated snapshot jars

[Dan Scott]

Andrew:

Gave 10.1 alpha it a quick shot in Network Server mode on Windows today.

One quick observation:

setNetworkServerCP.bat sets the CLASSPATH to point to the derby.jar,
etc. files in DERBY_INSTALL/lib/ -- however, in the ZIP file the jar
files are in the root directory. I had to modify setNetworkSetCP.bat
accordingly to get the CLASSPATH set up correctly.

At a minimum, either the batch file should be updated, or the zip file
should be placed entirely within a /lib/  directory (which is kind of
a generic name.)

Ideally, all of the files should be contained in a descriptively named
directory ("derby", perhaps), and the batch file should be updated to
match.

One more observation on Linux using the tar.gz download today:

Every shell script (e.g. frameworks/NetworkServer/bin/ij.ksh) appears
to have a similarly named file with ".rej" appended. Is that the
result of a failed patch script that didn't get caught?
