What is the recommended location (folder) of the mysql-connector-java-5.1.28-bin.jar file for connecting from Eclipse Database Development to MySQL databases. When searching the web I found locations as:
/Library/java/Extensions
/System/Library/java/Extensions

or is another? location recommended?

Thanks.

When not using Maven or Ivy, I keep all JARs for a project in a folder
named lib in my project which makes my project easily shareable with others.

The right way, however, is to use Maven or Ivy which will supply any JAR
including your MySQL JDBC connector here from existing repositories.
This is especially good when you've got lots of projects all needing JARs.

There are all sorts of other reasons to checkout Maven or Ivy. Maven is
more popular right now, but if you can write ant, Ivy is less
frustrating and not the least bit demanding on how you structure your
projects.

Hope this helps.
