Answer 1

If you are using Maven, you can just set another MySQL connector version (I had the same error, so i changed from 6.0.2 to 5.1.39) in pom.xml:

    mysql
    mysql-connector-java
    5.1.39

As reported in another answers, this issue has been fixed in versions 6.0.3 or above, so you can use the updated version:

    mysql
    mysql-connector-java
    6.0.3

Maven will automatically re-build your project after you save the pom.xml file.
