Mysql Backup Progress Monitor in java

Question

Am backing up MySQL database using java. I will like to know if there is a way to monitor the backup progress and then display in percent on JProgressBar?

Thanks.

You shouldn't be inserting Java into this in the first place. MySQL already comes with backup functions. Use them. Don't roll your own; don't add unreliability; don't add any code at all. Just define a backup schedule.
