Welcome to the Derby community!

You can get most, if not all, the information you need from the Derby web site:

http://db.apache.org/derby/

For information on Derby source code, click the "Download" tab and click on the 
link saying "Derby source code", or simply scroll down until you see it.

I'm sure it can be found by browsing the web site and/or using the search field 
on the left hand side.

For example, under the "Resources tab" you will find a menu on the left pointing 
to "Papers". There you will find links to lots of info on Derby internals.

The Apache Derby wiki may also contain some useful information, see
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/

For new contributors, this page should be especially interesting:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyDev

This is described on the page that explains how to obtain Derby source code. In 
short, building is described in detail in BUILDING.txt (a file in the code 
repository), and (old-style) testing is described in java/testing/readme.htm. 
JUnit testing is described on the wiki at 
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyJUnitTesting.

You may of course post questions to this mailing list if you have specific 
questions on Derby development.
