I started a project to do just that. Essentially it used JNI to interface the
C library, enabling it to connect to an embedded server (and also in theory
improve performance when connecting to a non-embedded one)
Nigel Wetters also attempted to do the same thing, and we were exchanging
some ideas and even started a Sourceforge project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/java2mysql)
However, neither of us got very far.
My driver can be found here or somewhere
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/slarty2/myjdbc.html
It should be noted that in its present form, selects cannot be done (which
limits the usefulness somewhat) (and it only supports latin1 encoding)
There was also some suggestions to build some kind of add-on for Mark
Matthews' driver, but looking at the source code rapidly gave us the idea
that that would be awkward.
I haven't actually tried to use embedded mysql with this driver, but I
imagine the modifications required would be minimal.

Mark
