Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/en/connector-j-usagenotes-connect-drivermanager.html... has this:

```
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
```

However `newInstance()` has been deprecated for a while (see also https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#newInstance-- )

How to repeat:
See description

Suggested fix:
Replace with:

```
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver").getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance();
```
