Extend Eclipse with Derby functionality

To install the Derby plugins manually, 
1. you will need to download the Apache Derby Eclipse Plugins from this website: http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html. Once on that page, click the link for the latest official release -- 10.6.2.1 as of Oct 2010. On the page for the latest official release, you will find links to the two Eclipse plugins necessary to extend Eclipse with the Derby database. The plugins are named derby_core_pluginand derby_ui_plugin. Download both of these plugins (they are zip-compressed archives). 


2. Unzip each archive into the Eclipse home directory -- i.e. the directory where Eclipse is installed, say C:\Eclipse. NOTE: If done correctly, then the C:\Eclipse\plugins directory will now contain these three directories:org.apache.derby.core_10.4.2, org.apache.derby.ui_1.1.2, and org.apache.derby.plugin.doc_1.1.2.
