Yes. I've heard of people doing it, but I don't have a list of names or
anything :)
You can manage server startup/shutdown via Runtime.exec(), and you can
manage system shutdown alone with the MiniAdmin class that comes with
the driver.
The only thing you have to watch out for would be a mysql server already
installed. It would be possible to write a little port-scanner in Java
in your installer that just looks for port 3306 listening, and if not,
then leave the MySQL config file alone, otherwise re-write the 'my.cnf'
file to use some other port, and configure your software to use the same
port.
