[jira] [Comment Edited] (DERBY-6980) Documentation changes to accompany jigsaw-modularization of derby

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6980?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16689952#comment-16689952 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------

After checking in the misc changes, I intend to make the following, additional changes to the Derby docs in order to better describe version 10.15:

----

h2. Getting Started With Derby

* *System Requirements*: The minimum JVM version has been parameterized but it was still Java 6 until I checked in derby-6980-04-aa-updateDocsVariables.diff. The minimum.jdk variable in docs.properties needs to be updated by the release building machinery.

* *Setting up your environment*: Add a new sub-section titled "Booting Derby Configurations with a Modulepath" to describe how to boot Derby configurations via a modulepath.

* *Choosing a method to run the Derby tools and startup utilities*: The description of booting Derby via the java command needs to offer modulepath as an alternative to classpath.

* *Setting the environment variables*: Offer modulepath as an alternative to classpath.

* *Syntax for the derbyrun.jar file*: Under "Additional Information", note that you cannot use the module-aware command line switches either.

* *Running sysinfo*: Include instructions on how to run sysinfo with a modulepath.

* *Running ij*: Include instructions on how to run ij with a modulepath.

* *Running dblook*: Include instructions on how to run dblook with a modulepath.

* *Quick start guide for experienced JDBC users*: Change "set the classpath" to "set the classpath or modulepath".

* *Libraries provided by Derby*: Re-phrase this section in terms of modules and add a section for the shared module.


----

h2. Derby Reference Manual

* *JDBC reference*:  Remove references to JDBC 4.1 and 4.2 from this section and its sub-sections.

----

h2. Derby Developer's Guide

* *Creating, dropping, and backing up databases*: Clarify what is meant by the cryptic instruction to consult getPropertyInfo().

----

h2. Derby Security Guide

* *Running embedded Derby with a security manager*: Remove this section because it is superceded by the amply commented embedded template engine policy.

----

h2. Tuning Derby

* *Put Derby first in your classpath*: Ask the experts whether the order of modules in the modulepath affects the speed of class loading.

----

h2. Derby Server and Administration Guide

* *Installing required jar files and adding them to the classpath/modulepath*: Add a bullet/paragraph on derbyshared.jar.

* *Starting the Network Server*: Revise verbiage about the template.policy file. Add a section on starting the server with a modulepath.

* *Network client driver examples*: Change the authentication examples to use NATIVE authentication rather than the deprecated and unsafe BUILTIN scheme. Yikes!

* *Differences between the embedded client and the network client driver*: Is it still true that you need an IBM JCE in order to encrypt username and password?

* *Running the SimpleNetworkServerSample program*: Add derbyshared.jar to the CLASSPATH.

* *Running the SimpleNetworkClientSample program*: Add derbyshared.jar to the CLASSPATH.

----

h2. Derby Tools and Utilities Guide

* *Starting ij*: Add option of using modulepath to start ij from the command line.

* *Using the luceneSupport optional tool*: Add derbyshared.jar and derbytools.jar to the classpath/modulepath.

* *Running the luceneSupport tool with a security manager*: Verify and if necessary update the security policy settings for running the Lucene plugin.
