Add a JDBC driver to Maven

To start with, the jar that I need to connect to MySQL 5.5 shocould have beenmysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jarBut
Notmysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar.
Secondly, this jar is not available in Maven repository so I needed to manually add it to my local Maven repository and then added it as a dependency in mypom.xml.

Addingmysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jarTo
The local Maven repositorymvn
install:install-file -Dfile=C:\Libraries\mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin\mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar -DgroupId=mysql -DartifactId=mysql-connector-java -Dversion=5.1.15-bin -Dpackaging=jarAnd then adding the following dependencypom.xmlOf
The project.

    <!-- MySql 5.5 Connector -->       <dependency>        <groupId>mysql</groupId>        <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>        <version>5.1.15-bin</version>    </dependency>
