Re: Re: Can we expect to see MySQL in NB soon?

So I take it all of you folks are in favor of removing the Glassfish installation?

IMHO, if you are going to provide a database anyway, and you have access to one like MySQL, then you should allow it as an optional install instead of your only option being Derby (which I am not a fan of).

In short, why not give people the option?  I for one like an all in one download and auto configuration.

fix issues on the only IDE i need. Actual i think most features in NetBeans
should come as plugins, this keeps a lean and fast IDE that has functionality
the u can easily add/remove.

err "Thirded" - Yep please *don't* include MySQL in the IDE. It's very easy to
install separately and I can only see problems when you have an existing db.
