Note:
Something we did not mention last time, the runtime builder is since 5.2 only able to build runtimes for the platform its used on.

I just installed the rc1 and tried to set the repository server as usual. I am using MySQL 5.1.48 on MacOS 10.6.4 and I have installed the Connector/J 5.1.13 driver from MySQL (and, yes, I started Servoy AFTER moving the driver into the drivers' directory). I am however unable to select the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in the server configuration panel, although it is available in the drop-down menu. After selecting it and saving the new server configuration, the driver always reverts to the default org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver. In 5.1.4 (same set-up, same server, same drivers) I have no issues with this. Did something change in 5.2?

P.S. I modified the servoy.properties file with the correct information. After that Servoy 5.2 seems to be using the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver driver. To be sure it was not an issue with the properties file I trashed it and recreated the repository server, with the same result: it always reverts to the org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver

Hi Rioba,

One is just an alias for the other so they are in fact one and the same driver.

Thanks, good to know. Just curious why the behavior is different from previous editions.
