You can use your favourite tool to connect to a database in embedded mode. You will need the embedded client (fbembed.dll) to be in the same directory as the tool executable. The tool can only connect to the database if it can get exclusive access to the database. As a tip, don't use embedded mode to do your database development: it's not designed for that. It is a deployment model.
As for Jaybird-specific ways to create databases, ask on the firebird-java list.
