Description big_al 2009-05-23 14:02:36 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

An extra dialog box pops up as you try to connect to a MySQL server
the first time. This is misleading and gives the impression that the
user has entered the wrong connection properties.

Steps to reproduce on a fresh installation:

1. Ensure that the default root password is not empty
2. Click the Services tab
3. Right click MySQL Server at localhost:3306 and select Connect. A
message will pop up saying that it is "Unable to connect to MySQL
Server" An option is provided to modify the connection properties
4. Click Yes to edit the connection properties. The properties dialog
pop-up
5. Enter the correct username and password for connection
6. Click OK.  The list of databases on the server are now displayed
in the services tab, but another "Unable to connecto to MySQL Server"
dialog pops up
7. Clicking YES followed by OK, will make the dialog disappear.
