JDBC, Database
JavaDB is not preferred for big application. However you can use if for college projects. Let me show you how you can connect with JavaDB directly from your windows application(.jar).

I'm considering that you created database using some IDE like netbeans or other. Download database with all required file, can be moved in any system directly. http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html

Step 1: Download database and copy folder(extracted zip) in your application folder.

Step 2: Copy your database folder in database_path\JavaDB\bin .

JDBC

HZL is my database folder contain database file. 
Note: HZL is my root folder. Don't create new folder in "bin" paste the folder direct. Below figure show contains of HZL folder.

Step 3: Start database server. Open database_path\JavaDB\bin\startnetworkserver.bat file. That will start your database server. 

JDBC
Don't close this command prompt. 

Step 4: Stop Server
  • - By Pressing cltr+C
  • - JavaDB\bin\Stopnetworkserver.bat


You might interested in start database at the start of application by programming.
Execute startnetworkserver.bat using java program. Read further about executing command using java program. http://www.javaquery.com/2011/03/how-to-execute-multiple-command-in.html
