Why don't I have Pointbase?

I am totally new to Java.
I downloaded and installed JDK1.6.0_14, J2EE 5.0, GlassFish, MySql, Netbeans 6.5.1, the whole package.
Then I downloaded all the samples.
I opened up the customer-cmp-ear sample in Netbeans and tried to run it.
This error appeared: Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: The connection was refused because the database sun-appserv-samples was not found.
The help screen said that sun-appserv-samples is in Pointbase, but Pointbase IS NOT in my Sun\AppServer folder.
The help screen also says: When you install the Sun Java System Application Server 8.1, the Pointbase database JDBC drivers are installed and the Pointbase Database Server is installed into the Sun/AppServer/pointbase directory.
I don't know what App Server 8.1 is, and I don't know if it interferes with the GlassFish server.
I WANT POINTBASE SO I CAN RUN AND STUDY MY SAMPLES. What do I do now?

"would suggest starting with something as simple as installing the JDK, compiling and running some simple applications and then growing from there."
I am simply trying to run a sample application provided by Sun.
"1) get into library and XML configuration hell and not know anything about how to fix it, nor where to find the proper information to help you"
That's why I'm on this forum.
"2) get an incredible amount of vague error messages that you will not know how to interpret or fix "
I fix many myself.
"4) at the end of the week you will blame it all on Java and you will switch to .NET, where your problems will start all over again"
False assumption.  I already program in.NET at work.  Also, I will never blame Java for my shortcomings.  When I see job ads for system achitects with all kinds of Java requirements, I know it is a powerful language that is respected by many professionals.  I will learn it one way or another.
"I hope for you it will be different, but I can see the frustration has already kicked in, so probably not. "
Another false assumption.  My frustration, after reading many threads here, is with the people who have 2000+ posts who try to belittle and mess with people instead of simply answering a simple question.  Being a forum poster on various sports, political and entertainment forums, I'm an expert at reading between the lines at who I'm talking to.  You and the guy with 9000 posts shouldn't even be hanging out on the New To Java thread if you're not here to answer newbie questions.  Don't ruin a beautiful website provided my Sun.  There are waaaaaay too many mindless, inane posts clogging up this forum.
Now, can SOMEONE ELSE step forward and answer my questions?  Can an INDIAN GUY answer my questions?  The INDIAN GUYS are the smartest and most straight-up people I have ever worked with.

  • Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

    Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel?

    I am currently asking this in Yahoo! Answers as well:
    I just used Boot Camp Assistant around a week ago to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display (and if it also helps find a solution: I'm also using Mountain Lion). At first, certain keyboard functions that can be used in the Mac OS (such as brightness and volume adjustment; oh, + the trackpad functions) that couldn't be used in Windows didn't exactly bother me since I was able to manage without them... until I started to play online games - which is the main reason I had to dual boot my macbook. When I already found it annoying to continuously click control+left click to perform right click, I started to look for solutions, and I noticed that most people online have said, "Oh, simply adjust your settings in the BOOT CAMP CONTROL PANEL. There should be this DIAMOND in your task bar; click on it so that you can apply changes you want. It should be there after you have installed Windows..." ... Well, thing is: in my case, it DOESN'T APPEAR! "Check your control panel," they say. "You will surely find it there." Check for me, if you will, because I seriously have no clue why I can't find it, even after checking using the Search bar...
    Now... why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel? I find it really strange how it doesn't appear in mine when it does in most of other people's... I kinda dislike the idea of reinstalling Windows, because over the week, I've downloaded several drivers and other applications (mostly games). Is there any way I could get it without having to undergo the process of deleting and uninstalling files? I need my Mac OS for school and office work (don't ask) and I need to have my entertaining pastimes using Windows. Please don't hesitate to suggest as many ideas as you can...
    Thank you!

    It appears from your description that you did not download and install the Windows support software. It was one of the first menu items you saw when you started Boot Camp Assistant.
    Run Boot Camp Assistant again and select the menu option to download the Windows support software. Save this download as described then install it from within Windows.

  • Why don't i have iDVD on 10.8.2

    Why don't i have iDVD on 10.8.2

    You can still get a copy of iDVD (along with the vintage iWeb) by ordering the iLife '11 suite from Amazon.
    To me, just having iDVD is worth the price - and it still integrates well with the still-supported iMovie.
    Good luck,

    Why don't I have sound in my apps

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
