What is the value in Tools - Options - Advanced Options - Server and External
Tool Settings - Java DB Database - Database Location? Does that folder exist on
disk? If yes, can you reproduce the issue by removing the folder and restarting
NetBeans with a clean userdir? If no, do you reproduce the issue each time you
start the NetBeans? Thanks.

Deleting the Database Location folder and restarting netbeans, solved this problem.
Can the problem have its roots in the fact that in our company our profiles are
located on a remote server [\\new_dumbo\user$\ledents\desktop\.netbeans-derby]?
Comment 3 steled 2007-02-19 08:38:21 UTC 
Problem reappears on consecutive runs.
Moving the directory somewhere else seams to avoid the problem
[C:\temp\netbeans-derby]. Windows Explorer didn't want to create the folder
[.netbeans-derby] !!!
Could this be also one of the reasons of the problems ???
