title: connecting to a file-based derby database
body: <p>I want to work with a file-based database using apache derby.
  I was wondering if anyone can carify how to connect &amp; create this database using netbeans as an IDE.
  I passed through derby manuals trying to figure this one out, but all i got was "Embedded Derby JDBC Database Connection", which i was told is not a file-based approach, and either way, the connection didn't seem to work.
  any help would be much appreciated</p>
