<p>
These are the instructions for building the Derby jar files
from the Derby sources.
</p>
<br/><br/><br/><hr color="blue"/>
<h2><a name="Downloads">Downloads</a></h2>
<p>
Before building Derby, you need to download the following:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Prerequisite</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>Derby Source</i></b></TD>
<TD>
If you are reading these instructions, chances
are you have already unpacked a Derby source distribution. However,
if you don't have the Derby source yet, get the development source tree from subversion by following these
<a href="http://db.apache.org/derby/dev/derby_source.html">instructions</a>.
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>Java Development Kit</i></b></TD>
<TD>You need to install a Java 8 JDK. Probably, your machine
already has this JDK. If not, Oracle and IBM supply free JDKs for many machines.</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>Ant</i></b></TD>
<TD>You need to install the Ant build tool, version 1.9.2 or
higher. You can get Ant <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">here</a>.</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<br/>
<a name="Downloading JUnit"/>
<p>
If you are going to run the Derby tests, then you will need to download the JUnit
test harness also:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Prerequisite</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>JUnit</i></b></TD>
<TD>You need the JUnit test tool, version 3.8.2.
The Ant build script will try to download JUnit for you
automatically if it's missing. If this fails for some reason,
you can download and install JUnit manually.
You can get JUnit 3.8.2 <a href="http://www.junit.org/">here</a>.
Copy <i>junit.jar</i> into your Derby source tree, in the
<i>tools/java</i> directory.
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<br/>
<br/><br/><br/><hr color="blue"/>
<h2><a name="Simple Build">Simple Build</a></h2>
<p>
Before building Derby, cd
to the root of your Derby source distribution. That is the top level
directory which contains the LICENSE and NOTICE files. In addition,
make sure that the version of Java which you are using is Java 8. You can verify this by checking the output of the following command:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
java -version
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
Now use the following Ant targets to build Derby.:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Target</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
<TD><b>Command</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>clobber</i></b></TD>
<TD>This target deletes all build artifacts.</TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet clobber
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>buildsource</i></b></TD>
<TD>This target compiles all source files needed for the Derby
product. Don't be alarmed by all of the compiler warnings. We'll
show you how to tidy those up <a href="#Customized Build">later on</a>.
</TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet buildsource
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>buildjars</i></b></TD>
<TD>This target builds the Derby jar files.</TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet buildjars
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<br/>
<p>
So, do this:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet clobber
ant -quiet buildsource
ant -quiet buildjars
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
In order to build the Derby javadoc, you will need to run another target:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Target</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
<TD><b>Command</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>javadoc</i></b></TD>
<TD>This target builds the Derby javadoc. Be patient. The
<i>javadoc</i> target takes a while.</TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet javadoc
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<blockquote>
<br/>
<br/>
<h3><a name="Verifying the Build">Verifying the Build</a></h3>
<p>
Run the <i>sysinfo</i> command to verify that the jars built
correctly. This program will print out the Derby build information:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
java -jar jars/sane/derbyrun.jar sysinfo
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
<br/>
<h3><a name="Testing Derby">Testing Derby</a></h3>
<p>
If you want to build and run the Derby tests, make sure that you have downloaded
the
<a href="#Downloading JUnit">JUnit</a>
test framework. Then build all of the Derby sources, including the test classes:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Target</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
<TD><b>Command</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>all</i></b></TD>
<TD>This target compiles all Derby source files.</TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet all
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<p>
Putting all of this together, here's how you build the tests:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -quiet clobber
ant -quiet all
ant -quiet buildjars
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
To run the tests, consult the testing
<a href="./java/testing/README.htm">README</a>.
</p>
</blockquote>
<br/><br/><br/><hr color="blue"/>
<h2><a name="Customized Build">Customized Build</a></h2>
<p>
You can customize the Derby build by setting variables in a file
called <i>ant.properties</i>. The Ant tool looks for this file in your
home directory.
To find out where Ant thinks your home directory is,
issue the following command and look for "user.home" in the output:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
ant -diagnostics
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
<br/>
<p>
Alternatively, or additionally, you can place properties in a file called 'local.properties' in the top of the source tree. Properties placed in this file have precedence over those in user.home/ant.properties.
</p>
<p>
Here are some Derby-specific variables which you may want to set in <i>ant.properties</i>:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Variable</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
<TD><b>Default</b></TD>
<TD><b>Example</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>deprecation</i></b></TD>
<TD>Turn this flag off if you don't want to see pages of
warnings generated when the compiler encounters references to
deprecated methods.</TD>
<TD><blockquote><i>on</i></blockquote></TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
deprecation=off
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>sane</i></b></TD>
<TD>By default, this variable is set to <i>true</i>. This builds
extra assertion and debugging logic into Derby classes. If you
set this variable to false, then the Derby jar files will be
smaller and Derby will run faster. During typical development,
you will leave this variable set to <i>true</i>. However, this
variable is set to <i>false</i> when building official Derby releases.</TD>
<TD><blockquote><i>true</i></blockquote></TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
sane=false
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>junit</i></b></TD>
<TD>Setting this property will overwrite the default location for
<i>junit.jar</i>, used to build the tests.
The default location is <i>tools/java</i>.
If you set this property, the build will not automatically download
<i>junit.jar</i>, and if it's not in the specified location, the build will
stop.</TD>
<TD><blockquote><i>tools/java/junit.jar</i></blockquote></TD>
<TD>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
junit=/local0/junit.jar
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>

<h3><a name="Advanced Build">Advanced Build</a></h3>
<p>
Derby is supposed to run in the following environment:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Platform</b></TD>
<TD><b>JDBC Level</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>Java 8</i></b></TD>
<TD><b><i>JDBC 4.2</i></b></TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<br/>
<p>
The default Derby build does NOT necessarily verify that the compile-time contract is
satisfied for this platform. To get compile-time checks, you
need to make sure that the following variable is set correctly. To
see the value which the Derby build uses for this variable, build
Derby after setting the
following debug variable in your <i>ant.properties</i>:
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="blue" size="+2">
printCompilerProperties=true
</font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
<br/>
<p>
Here is the variable which determines whether the Derby build
enforces compile-time contracts for the supported platform:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Platform</b></TD>
<TD><b>Compiler Variable</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
<TD><b>Default Value</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>Java 8</i></b></TD>
<TD><b><i>java18compile.classpath</i></b></TD>
<TD>The set of libraries in the Java 8 JDK. The build fails if
your environment isn't a Java 8 JDK.</TD>
<TD>The set of system jars in your JDK if your environment is
JDK 8. Otherwise,
the build fails.</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<br/>
<p>
The preceding variable is mandatory for the Derby build.
You can also force the setting of the preceding variable by setting the following optional
library variable in <i>ant.properties</i>:
</p>
<TABLE border="2">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><b>Compiler Variable</b></TD>
<TD><b>Description</b></TD>
<TD><b>Default Value</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b><i>j18lib</i></b></TD>
<TD>If you set this variable to be the directory which contains
your Java 8 jars, then the Derby build will set
<i>java18compile.classpath</i> to be the list of jars in that directory.
</TD>
<TD>Optional variable. No default value.</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<br/>
<p>
Here, for instance, are some sample settings of classpath
variables (you should omit the \ continuation markers, which are
included in these examples
simply to improve readability):
