      4.) In the Jar List, select the mysql jdbc driver in the c:\lib      
     4.) Click ok

10.) Driver connection should look like this:
    1.) Database: seamdemo
    2.) URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/seamdemo
    3.) Update the User name and Password
    4.) Click Test Connection to verify that you have successfully setup the connection profile
