Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: JDBC driver for Mac OS

     The method of installing the j connector should be similar to 
installing it on any Operating System. from the MySQL website download 
the zip file to your desktop: mysql-connector-java-5.1.25.zip. Double 
click it to unzip it producing the "mysql-connector-java-5.1.25" folder. 
Drag it to the Document folder. Open LibreOffice. Command + comma key 
combination opens a dialog. Look down the list the has LibreOffice at 
the top for Advanced. Click it. (This is the Java page of the dialog. 
Click the "Class Path" button to open the Class Path dialog. Now click 
the "Add Archive" button to browse to the location of 
"mysql-connector-java-5.1.25-bin.jar". (It is in 
"Document/mysql-connector-java-5.1.25/".) Highlight the file and click 
Open. The path to the file is now entered in the "Class Path" dialog. 
Click OK. Click OK in the Java page of the dialog. Now close 
LibreOffice. The connector has been installed in LibreOffice.

Found j connector instead. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ 
How to install it in Mac OS? Quite a few articles advice against setting 
the Class variable like 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2509138/classpath-on-mac-and-how-does-mac-look-for-mysql-connecytor-java-bin-jar 
and the rest of the things I have read are just too heavy to grasp. 
Please guide me. On Sat, May 11, 2013 at 7:29 PM, rounak jain
