No, there should not be any differences between the contents of the .tar.gz
distribution and the .zip distribution. I think you have found a bug in the
documentation, because install.html does not really exist (correct me if I'm wrong).

I think this part of Developer's Guide needs to be updated and rephrased. I'm
not sure what the manual page you refer to means by "Derby development
environment". I would think it means the Derby jar files, Java executables,
paths and classpaths, etc. In a different context it would mean the environment
needed for developing Derby itself, though.
For more info on how to get started with Derby, see
a) The Derby tutorial: http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/DerbyTut/index.html
b) The "Getting Started with Derby" manual
c) The "Working With Derby" manual
