Opensource packaging software for Mysql Server with Java Desktop Application

Question

I have a Java desktop application which uses mysql database . Is there any Open source software for packaging or executable wrapper of Mysql server and Java desktop application into one single Exe/Debian package where i need not separately install Mysql server separately . Its like one click installer which installs everything and the application is ready to use. Thanks

Answer 1

The problem here is that MySQL is a standalone server, and cannot be easily embedded. You should use an embeddable or serverless database, such as :

• SQLite (see the SQLite library for Java, containing all the server and the API in one jar)
• Apache Derby (see the documentation for embedded use)
• HyperSQL
