JavaDB settings currently allow setting "derby.system.home" property only for the network server. There is no option to set "derby.system.home" property within the IDE to use with embedded driver. Workaround is to set "derby.system.home" property as a startup parameter for NB with "-J-D", but changing it requires IDE restart. Would solution be to call System.setProperty("derby.system.home","value from the textfield"); once the OK button in settings dialog is clicked?
Thanks, ndario. I was thinking about this further and although this is a good idea, we'd need to test. Note that if you set derby.system.home for the NB VM, then every project with its own classloader will want to access the same database when using an embedded connection. But Java DB only allows one classloader at a time to access a database through an embedded connection. So this requires further thought... I'm not sure about this being a P1 feature, but I'll leave it for now.
Ups, sorry about P1, I thought it is the "least important". Feel free to set priority as you like, I set it to P1 by mistake.
Reassigned to new owner.
