-	== Enabling NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice.org/X11 to connect to MySQL databases ==	+
-		+
-	* Download Connector/J from the [http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/ MySQL website].	+
-	** The included README gives much information.	+
-	** The most important keypoints are:	+
-	*** the class name of the JDBCdriver: <tt>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</tt>	+
-	*** the URL format: <tt>jdbc:mysql://host.domain/database_name</tt>	+
-	** You will need a version of Connector/J that supports Java 1.3.x, since that is the version of Java used in NeoOffice/J.	+
-		+
-	*The jar file location:	+
-	** for OOo/X11: you can put it where you want. To let OOo know, you shoud go to "Tools->Options" menu item. Then in the "security" pane, there is a place to add directories to classpath. Click on browse and find your jar file.	+
-	** for Neo/J: I had to put it in the <tt><NeoOffice>/Contents/MacOS/classes</tt> folder to get it found. Didn't check with recent release if the previous classpath setting does work.	+
-	*** FYI. I just tried adding the MySQL jar file using the Security pane in the Tools->Options menu item Neo/J 1.1 Alpha 2. After adding the jar file in that pane and restarting Neo/J, I successfully connected to my MySQL database.	+
-		+
-	With this basic setup the connection should work.	+
-		+
-	Then you come to the fine tuning stuff: charset, etc...	+
-		+
-	''There is also an attachment (.sxw) to [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13753 OpenOffice.org Issue 13753] which contains screenshots and a different location for placing the Connector/J file.''	+
-		+
-	There are additional pointers available in [http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1004 this thread on trinity] on other MySQL configuration issues.	+
