Liquibase SDK Workspace
The Liquibase SDK ships with a LIQUIBASE_HOME/sdk/workspace directory that is pre-configured as an easy starting point for testing Liquibase and Liquibase extensions.
Normal usage of the workspace directory is to change to the workspace directory, then run ..\..\liquibase ARGS and ..\liquibase-sdk ARGS commands.
Liquibase SDK is available in Liquibase 3.2.0+

liquibase.properties
The workspace directory ships with liquibase.h2.properties, liquibase.hsql.properties and liquibase.derby.properties files in the workspace directory which can be used for testing embedded databases. All three are configured to use database files in LIQUIBASE_HOME/tmp/DB_NAME.
