This section describes how to use 'sysinfo' to verify Java DB installation.
Obviously, Java DB requires Java SE to be installed. I have Java SE 6 installed on my Windows system as described in other tutorials in this book.
To verify Java DB installation and the required Java SE, I used the "sysinfo" tool as suggested in Java DB documents:
C:\>cd \local\javadb\bin
C:\local\javadb\bin>sysinfo
------------------ Java Information ------------------

--------- Derby Information --------
JRE - JDBC: Java SE 6 - JDBC 4.0
[C:\local\javadb\lib\derby.jar] 10.2.2.0 - (485682)
[C:\local\javadb\lib\derbytools.jar] 10.2.2.0 - (485682)

[C:\local\javadb\lib\derbyclient.jar] 10.2.2.0 - (485682)
...
The output confirms that my Java DB was installed properly.
