Xcode Java and MySql - DaveyC - 02-17-2007
I was recently "downsized" (Software Engineer with 20+ years experience) and while out beating the bushes some of my fellow "downsized" buddies found a little consulting opportunity and were kind enough to deal me in.
Nothing big, but every little bit helps.
I need to code a Java object which pokes some values in a MySql database.
I am a long time Mac user (way back to the Mac Plus) but never used it for development.
After a little investigation I decided that my Intel Core Duo iBook (10.4.8) using the Xcode (2.2.1) IDE should do the trick very nicely for what I need to do.
I have installed Xcode and downloaded and installed MySql so I believe I have most of the pieces I need to start with.
I am just not sure how to set things up in Xcode to work with MySql.
Do I need to download JDBC?
What kind of Java Project do I select in Xcode and what's the trick to configure it to work with a MySql database?
It doesn't need a user interface or any web functionality.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the MR Forums Davey!
I can't give you a precise answer (not MySQL literate) but you should visit http://developer.apple.com/tools/
Most, if not all, the info you need is there!
While there, sign up for the Apple Developer Connection (ADC), it's free and very helpful.
Good wishes in your new venture.

Yes, the developer.apple.com site was most helpful in getting MySql installed and running on my iBook.
I signed up for ADC when I installed Xcode as well.
I just have not had any luck finding any nuts and bolts info on setting up a Java project in Xcode to use MySql.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not Mac specific, but it probably can help you.

You'll need either the mysql jdbc plugin or a java interface library.
otherwise nothing about this is particularly macintosh.
