[Issue 124817] New: Does not recognize the mysql-connector-x.x.x-java-bin.jar file

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124817

          Issue ID: 124817
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Does not recognize the
                    mysql-connector-x.x.x-java-bin.jar file
           Product: Base
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: code
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: ooprobs@gmail.com

The mysql-connector-x.x.x-java-bin.jar file is not being recognized.  Using
Tools > Options > OpenOffice > Java > Add, and navigating to the folder where
the file exists, it does not recognize that it is there and, thus, will not
allow for a JDBC connection to occur (since it is requesting the javaruntime
environment -- which it doesn't recognize).

Unable to find literature in this regard.

The closest thing was "The mysql-connector-x.x.x-java-bin.jar file should then
appear in the list of Assigned folders and Archives. Click on OK to close the
dialog."  But, when it doesn't (though it's there), what should be done?

The file was downloaded from <http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/>. 
Only one option for download is available.

If there is no JRE selected on Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Java, then the
application may not allow you to add the MySQL Connector J.

Is there a JRE selected?
Note that OpenOffice is a 32 bit application on Windows, it needs a 32 bit JRE.

And by the way, did you try the Native connector? (no Java needed), see

What is your operating system?
What is the folder where the file exists?
