Apache Derby 10.1.1.0 Release

Distributions

Use the links below to download a distribution of Apache Derby from the archives. It is good practice to verify the integrity of the distribution files.

There are three different distributions:

  • bin distribution - contains the documentation, javadoc, and jar files for Derby.
  • lib distribution - contains only the jar files for Derby.
  • src distribution - contains the Derby source tree at the point which the binaries were built.

db-derby-10.1.1.0-bin.zip [PGP] [MD5]
db-derby-10.1.1.0-bin.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5]

db-derby-10.1.1.0-lib.zip [PGP] [MD5]
db-derby-10.1.1.0-lib.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5]

db-derby-10.1.1.0-src.zip [PGP] [MD5]
db-derby-10.1.1.0-src.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5]

There are two separate Eclipse plugins for Derby:

  • derby_core_plugin - provides the Derby jar files to other plugins in Eclipse.
  • derby_ui_plugin - provides an Apache Derby Nature in Eclipse for easy database application development.

derby_core_plugin_10.1.1.zip [PGP] [MD5]
derby_ui_plugin_1.1.0.zip [PGP] [MD5]

Please note: both plugins must be installed for full functionality. For information on installing and using the Derby plugins for Eclipse, please see the Using the 10.1 Core and 1.1 UI Derby plug-ins page.

Release Notes

Derby version 10.1.1.0

This is the first official release for Derby as a subproject of the Apache DB proejct. The build number of this release is 208786. For information on getting started using Derby, refer to the Getting Started manual.

The IBM Universal JDBC Driver is no longer required to use the Derby Network Server. A new Derby network client driver, packaged as derbyclient.jar, is now provided for remote network access to the Derby Network Server. For more information on using the Derby network client driver, see the Derby Server and Administration Guide.

A detailed list of changes can be found in the CHANGES file in each of the distributions listed below.

Verifying releases

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP and MD5 signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was not corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the file came from a certain person.

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the Apache Derby KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using ...

% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

or

% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

or

% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program called md5 or md5sum, which is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here.

We strongly recommend you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.
