title: Netbeans not starting Java DB Server with JDK 1.8.0_40
body: <p>That's my setup:
  1) Windows 8.1
  2) JDK 1.8.0_40
  3) Netbenas 8.0.2</p>
  
  <p>The system was running JDK 1.8.0_31 and everything was working pretty well.
  JDK 1.8.0_31 was uninstalled and JDK 1.8.0_40 installed and JAVA_HOME var was
  adjusted to reflect the new JDK version, from C:\java\jdk1.8.0_31 to
  C:\java\jdk1.8.0_40.</p>
  
  <p>I applied the following changes to my Netbeans:
  1) Menu Tools | Libraries: 'Java DB Driver' was changed to reflect the libraries which come with JDK version: C:\java\jdk1.8.0_40\db\lib\derby.jar C:\java\jdk1.8.0_40\db\lib\derbyLocale_pt_BR.jar (I'm from Brazil) C:\java\jdk1.8.0_40\db\lib\derbyclient.jar C:\java\jdk1.8.0_40\db\lib\derbynet.jar
  2) 'Services' tab, right-click on 'Java DB', Properties menu item: a) 'Java DB Installation' setup to C:\java\jdk1.8.0_40\db b) Database location is the same when everything was working fine.</p>
  
  <p>In (1) the only difference is in the JDK root dir.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I right-click on 'Java DB' on 'Services' tab nothing happens, no error,
  no messages, simply nothing.</p>
  
  <p>If I right-click on any existing Derby connection and choose 'Connect...' a
  small windows shows up with the message "Connecting to database, please wait..."
  and in the status bar (on the botton of Netbeans main window) there's a message
  "Starting the Java DB Server" and that process stays running forever 'cause
  nothing happens. I can close the small window, then I try to close the message
  on status bar another windows shows up with the message "Are you sure you want
  to cancel Starting Java DB Server?". I click "Yes" button and another window
  with a wired message "The Java DB server did not start in 0 seconds. Do you want
  to wait another 0 seconds?" shows up, I click "No" button and the process of
  starting Java DB Server seems to stop.</p>
  
  <p>I appreciate any contributions to get that wired problem solved.</p>
