I have installed MySQL 5.5.32 via apt-get install into Ubuntu 13.04.I want to use it in a Java project.For this i must have MySql connector jar.I can not find it.I tried locate *mysql*.jar but it did not find anything.I looked into /etc/mysql but there is no jar in it.I don't want to download it from internet because i believe that it somehow exists in an MySQL folder.Does anybody have any idea where the connector jar went into Ubuntu 13.04?
Where is the MySQL JDBC jar file in Ubuntu?

Answer
If you're using a version of Ubuntu prior to 19.04, you'll need to install libmysql-java, the MySQL JDBC driver, because the connector is not in the Ubuntu-packaged MySQL package that you've already installed. Versions after that do not publish that package.
Once it's installed, you'll have the file /usr/share/java/mysql.jar, which is an indirect symlink to the actual jar file.
Alternatively, install the mysql-apt-config package, update, and you'll be able to install all currently supported MySQL software with apt.
