Description Roman Mostyka 2008-08-06 11:32:29 UTC 
1. Build IDE from fresh sources.
2. Start it on Mac OS X.

Result: Java DB node is present, but it is unusable without GlassFish. After adding GlassFish user can start and stop
Java DB, but before this node is unusable. Only properties can be set, but if this node exists, user can start to think
that Java DB is already registered. It can mislead user. It will be better to do this as MySQL, in context menu.
Comment 1 John Baker 2008-08-11 23:36:27 UTC 
To use Java DB without Glassfish...
1) Ctrl-Click on the Java DB node and select Properties
2) Enter the Java DB installation and database locations
3) Again, Ctrl-click on the Java DB node and select start

Connections are added to Java DB and Java DB starts and is ready to use.

What is the problem then ?
Comment 2 John Baker 2008-08-11 23:42:52 UTC 
Instead of the Java DB node, you are suggesting to add a Register Java DB menuitem similar to MySQL under the Databases
node?

If so then please be specify exactly what you want in a new issue if you want

I checked workaround suggested by you. It works so I'm happy now. :)
