Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.6.8 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_43 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.14-b01-447 I'm using mysql rev: 5.6.10. The distributed jdbc.connector /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.3.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/ide/modules/ext/mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar does not work. After moving 5.1.20-bin.jar to the ext folder, I could not enter the new filename with the select driver-box. Workaround was to fake the filename of 5.1.20 to 5.1.18. This works fine, but is not sufficient.

I cannot reproduce on Windows, maybe it's specific to Mac. Did you try to create a new driver, or to change JAR in the existing driver "MySQL (Connector/J driver)"? > After moving 5.1.20-bin.jar to the ext folder, I could not > enter the new filename with the select driver-box. Did you enter the filename manually, or did you select the file with file chooser? Thanks.
Please try to reproduce with the latest NetBeans version. Thanks
