Bug Description

The default MySQL JDBC connector is installed in /usr/share/java, which is not "seen" by Tomcat (unless you make a link from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/ext/). It would be appreciated if this could be done automatically...

Thanks, MZ

If a symlink could also be setup upon installation to:

/var/lib/tomcat7/shared/

that would resolve the issue with tomcat7.
