I would like to ask for a review of the API for setting the location of the Derby database. NetBeans 5.0 we will provide out-of-the-box support for the Derby database like starting/stopping the server, registering the JDBC drivers and creating new databases. These features will be provided by the Derby support module in db/derby. However, this module will not bundle the Derby database itself. Instead, the Derby database will be provided by the module in db/derby/bundled and by the Sun Java System Application Server 8.2. Therefore an API is needed for the Derby bundle module and the appserver plugin module to provide the location of the Derby database. The intended API category is friend and will be provided by the Derby support module. The providing module and the client modules will all be in the enterprise cluster. The API consists of a class with two methods (see the attached diff). The setDerbyLocation() method is used to set the location and getDerbyLocation() is used to retrieve it. The getter is needed so that the API client can detect that the location has already been set and not do it again.
