Description Paul Gover CLA 2008-01-21 14:11:26 EST
Build ID: M20071023-1652

Steps To Reproduce:
1.  Open Eclipse help
2.  Search on "large log"
3.  Select "Creating the database and database tables"

More information:
The instructions you get are for Windows systems.  I'm running Linux.  I have no "setEmbeddedCP.bat", nor anything similar - this may be because I installed Derby following the instructions on the Apache web site, rather than installing any Eclipse package.

I made a work-around as follows:  I created a new general Project, and gave it a Derby nature.  Then I ran "ij" from that project, and executed the HYADES database creation script.  Closed Eclipse, and (Ouch!) dragged the resulting folder from my workspace to the eclipse home directory (in my case, ~/eclipse - not sure that would be possible if I'd installed eclipse under /opt as root).  Restarted Eclipse with "-clean".  Can now import log files, which is what I wanted.

To add to my (or is it your?) misery, I want to run ij to add some database indexes to (hopefully) improve log filter performance.  But I can't see how to run "ij" against the eclipse home directory.  If I run it in the project I set up to create the database, I get "Unable to locate driver" or words to that effect, when I try "connect 'jdbc:derby:HYADES;';".  I may try a symlink to the original database, but this is getting scary!
