Hi Petteri and thanks for your report.

This is a known problem we've been forced to introduce ourselves... Anyway, I'm setting this to verified and Mark will decide whether this will be fixed or just needs better documentation.

Connector/J documentation contains instructions for building driver from surces http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/connector-j-installing-source.html with mentioning requirements of having both 1.5 and 1.6 jdks. Variables reported here are also documented:

" To build Connector/J 5.1, edit the build.xml to reflect the location of your JDK 1.6.x installation. The lines to change are:

   <property name="com.mysql.jdbc.java6.javac" value="C:\jvms\jdk1.6.0\bin\javac.exe" />
   <property name="com.mysql.jdbc.java6.rtjar" value="C:\jvms\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\rt.jar" />

Alternatively, you can set the value of these property names through the Ant -D option."

I guess we may close this report as "Won't fix" because we don't plan to change c/J 5.1 build' requirements.

The reported situation was verified.

Added the following entry in the Connector/J 5.3.12 changelog:

"The Ant script for building Connector/J from source failed to check the availability of javac and rt.jar from JDK 1.6 before compilation. That caused compilation to fail when the two files weren't available. This fix corrects the step in the build script that checks for those files before compilation."
