Try changing the URL to jdbc:firebirdsql:embedded:... though I am not sure
that this helps. It looks for the message file in the same directory where
main executable is. You can override this in firebird.conf file, which in
turn is looked for either in the directory of the main executable or the
path where the FIREBIRD environment variable points to.

I have discussed with Dmitry Yemanov to add a possibility to search for
config in the current/working directory before/after checking the main
executable directory, but this is not possible, only either this or that.
And the current dir is not acceptable for other embedded users.
