How do you connect to a MySQL database using Oracle SQL Developer?

Question

I have Oracle SQL Developer already installed and am able to connect to and query Oracle databases.

Using Help -> Check for Updates I was able to install the Oracle MySQ

Answer 1

Under Tools > Preferences > Databases there is a third party JDBC driver path that must be setup. Once the driver path is setup a separate 'MySQL' tab should appear on the New Connections dialog.

Note: This is the same jdbc connector that is available as a JAR download from the MySQL website.
