Yes I would love to have the ability to run "embedded out-of-the-box".

I simply include and build it with the DHIS 2 source code, this way it will
be on the classpath. I change the "hibernate.dialect" property in
hibernate.properties in this case to
"org.hisp.dhis.dialect.IdentityDerbyDialect". Apparently Hibernate doesn't
look for this file until the schema is created, meaning after DHIS 2 is
definitely loaded by the classloader.
