Description

I just tried to start a new project using the Derby embedded database. For my first steps I followed https://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.15/getstart/getstartderby.pdf.

According to the guide on page 31, I need to load

String driver = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver";

although that class cannot be found on the classpath - and this despite I configured maven with

{{ <dependency>}}
    <groupId>org.apache.derby</groupId>
    <artifactId>derby</artifactId>
    <version>10.15.2.0</version>
{{ </dependency>}}

When looking at derby-10.15.2.0.jar I find the file /META-INF.services/java.sql.Driver, and the content is

org.apache.derby.iapi.jdbc.AutoloadedDriver

Should that not be the driver name to be loaded for the tutorial? If not, where is the missing class?
