Derby Eclipse classpath

I'm new at Derby+Eclipse and trying to use it on my Mac OS. I've downloaded db-derby-10.8.3.0-bin zip file from http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html , extracted it and added it to CLASSPATH via eclipse properties->java build path. Now when I try java org.apache.derby.tools.sysinfo in my terminal it says:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/derby/tools/sysinfo

When I try echo $CLASSPATH there is an empty string. I'm doing something wrong?

Solution

  • The Eclipse Java Build Path just sets the class path for compiling and running the project from within Eclipse. It does not set the system CLASSPATH, you will have to set that separately outside of Eclipse.
