MySQL Connector/MXJ 1.0.9 is available for download. (However, it can 
take a couple hours for some mirrors to catch up.)

MySQL Connector/MXJ is a JMX MBean for deploying and managing a MySQL 
database. This makes it easy for Java developers to deploy applications 
which require a database by reducing installation barriers for their 
end-users.

Connector/MXJ requires a JMX v1.2 compliant MBean container, such as 
JBoss version 4.

As a JMX MBean, Connector/MXJ makes the MySQL database appear to be a 
java-based component. It does this by determining what platform the 
system is running on, selecting the appropriate binary, and launching 
the executable. It will also optionally deploy an initial database, and 
via standard JMX management APIs present (and allow the setting of)
parameters which are appropriate for that platform.

Included are instructions for deploying to JBoss. Please, be sure to 
read the "README" and the "GettingStarted.txt" files.

New in the 1.0.9 version are MySQL 4.1.8 resources for the following 
platforms:
* Linux x86
* Mac OS X 10.3
* Windows XP/2K/NT x86
* SunOS sparc

If you're using JBoss, we've taken advantage of the JBoss life-cycle 
extension methods so that the database will gracefully shut down when 
JBoss is shutdown.

Cheers,
