Sorry it is a bit off topic. The latest JDBC driver for the MySQL in the
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15923> site has
the latest version named "mm.mysql-2.0.11-you-must-unjar-me.jar".

My question is, what does "unjar" means or how to do it?

TIA

From a command line prompt:

jar xvf mm.mysql-2.0.11-you-must-unjar-me.jar

The x means "eXtract." This will take whatever files are contained in the
JAR and put them in your current directory, so make sure you're in a
directory where you want the driver files to be. You probably want to
create one first. You can also use a zip utility like WinZip (on Windows)
to extract the files.

You can also use WinZIP to look at JAR/WAR/EAR files (it is a ZIP format).

Peace,
