Description medeag 2012-09-25 17:56:40 UTC

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 Beta (Build 201209232010)
Java: 1.7.0_10-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.6-b02
System: Mac OS X version 10.7.4 running on x86_64; US-ASCII; ka_GE (nb)

using with clean user dirs, no settings are imported from previous version.

from sanity test:

Open Windows | Services

EXPECTED RESULT:
Under Databases, MySQL is present.

reality:
netbeans didn't recognize mysql, i was forced to register it manually, in spite the fact that i'm using default 3306 port.

It seems that NetBeans failed to detect MySQL installation directory. Its needed to to start and stop the server, for example.

Currently, NetBeans support only MAMP installations with "/bin/startMysql.sh" and "/bin/stopMysql.sh" scripts. Are these two files available on your system?
If not, what is your MySQL installation directory?
Thank you.

I don't use MAMP, so that might be the reason.  

my installation path is: /usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64

I'm not 100% sure but i think  i never bumped into this issue previous versions...

The bug is not specific to Mac.
Detection of MySQL failed also on Win XP where it was installed in
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin (see bug 222035).
