If you install Netbeans 6.0 beta 1 with the defaults, JavaDB is not found by default. If you go to: Tools->Java DB Database->Settings ...the default installation path is: C:\Sun\AppServer\javadb However, Netbeans installs JavaDB as part of glassfish into C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2-b58g\javadb by default.
Did you import an existing userdir into beta 1, or did you just use a new userdir? If the latter, is the issue always reproducible? Try removing both C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.netbeans and the installation directory and install beta 1 again. Do you get the same directory in Tools - Java DB Database - Settings? Thanks.
Since Beta 2 just came out, I installed it after deleting my userdir, like you said, abadea. With Beta 2, the default DB directory was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\db", basically the JDK I specified during installation. This works fine because Java6 comes with Derby. Not sure what will happen if I'm using Netbeans with Java5, though, but I'm changing this bug to FIXED. Thanks abadea!
