jdk6 to JDK8 comes with Derby database. DB/lib will find Derby.jar under the jdk directory.

Other JDK versions are imported with Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.derby</groupId>
    <artifactId>derby</artifactId>
    <version>10.14.2.0</version>
    <!-- <scope>test</scope> -->
</dependency>

Note:

1. Remark <Scope> test </scope>, otherwise Maven will not find the Derby’s JDBCDRIVER class;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21262316/java-lang-classnotfoundexception-org-apache-derby-jdbc-embeddeddriverFind);

2.Derby’s 10.15.x version does not have EmbeddedDriver, and 10.14.x version is required; 10.14.x;

 System.out.println (RSET1.Getint (1)+">"+RSET1.GetString (2)); 
 } 
 pState1.close (); 
 
 conn.close (); 
 } Catch (sqlexception e) {{
