Hi guys,

So I'm starting out with Java, coming from Game Maker Studio 1.4, my game server has been using ini files to load and save data from, I'm not much of a fan of this, it doesn't feel right. I don't want hundreds or more ini files because all the have are their names, sections and keys, I need one for each player, world instances, and so on.

A guy suggested I have a look at Apache Derby, and creating a Java server, so I've gotten Eclipse, and downloaded the latest apache derby pack from their website, then in their documentation it says I simply need to copy over the files into the Eclipse work space and then right click the project folder within Eclipse and Apache Derby should be in there ready to import. It's not there, and Im also not seeing the same kind of files they show in their documentation.

I've got Eclipse Neon 3 and the Derby folder name is "db-derby-10.13.1.1-bin.zip". Anyone able to assist ?

I'd like to add, what would you call this, a library, a plugin ? not sure of Java terminology.

Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, I did look for a Java/Eclipse section.
