Right...thank you for helping me with the point that I was making. M$ likes to have their SQL server embedded and integrated with their IDE because, to Micro$oft's way of of thinking, they want people to become absolutely dependent upon their systems. They don't want users to ever realize that they have a choice, because then the users *may* not choose Micro$oft, and Micro$oft does not want that to ever happen.
To have it embedded in Netbeans would not be that good, as it was
stated before, I also have some of the tools already installed and
configured to work the way I want, mysql being one of them, having the
IDE's installer requesting me to install another version of an
existing tool is not something I crave for :)
This was *exactly* what I was saying about not having the MySQL integration/embedding be a required part of the installation, like glassfish is. What you had said earlier (accidentally deleted your statement, sorry) about having the installer check to see if MySQL is already installed, *before* it tries to install it, wouldn't be bad, though it would bloat the installer for those who already have MySQL on their system.
