hello
I can give you the source code of the high level usage of the connection to avoid misunderstatment

if (!FBDriverLoaded) { // don't load Jaybird more than once.
{
try
{
Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
org.firebirdsql.pool.FBConnectionPoolDataSource dataSource = new org.firebirdsql.pool.FBConnectionPoolDataSource();
if( dataSource != null )
{
FBDriverLoaded = true;
}
dataSource.setMaxStatements( 10);
dataSource.setMaxIdleTime( 30* 60 * 60);
dataSource.setPooling(true);
dataSource.setMaxPoolSize( 5);
dataSource.setMinPoolSize( 2);
dataSource.setLoginTimeout( 10000);
dataSource.setDatabase ("localhost:E:\\Program Files\\Borland\\bin\\COHERENCE");
dataSource.setPassword("masterkey");
dataSource.setUserName("SYSDBA");
PooledConnection pooledConnection = dataSource.getPooledConnection();
connect = pooledConnection.getConnection();
}
catch (SQLException ex)
{
Logger.getLogger(JNMImportAction.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
catch( IllegalArgumentException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
if( cnx != null )
{
returnValue = true; }
else
{
returnValue = false;
}
}

Step 1 is creating a user library for Jaybird in Netbeans (which I think you did), step 2 is adding that library to your current project (which I you forgot to do). After that imports should just work. There is never a good reason to need to include the source of a dependency into your own program.
