The tests attempt to launch MySQL on the port 3336. That MySQL instance is unlikely to conflict with another MySQL server on the same machine, because the default port for MySQL is 3306. If you do encounter a port conflict, either set the c-mxj_test_port Java property to a port of your choosing, or shut down any instances of MySQL you have running on the target machine.

The tests suppress output to the console by default. For verbose output, you may set the c-mxj_test_silent Java property to false.

To run the JUnit test suite, the $CLASSPATH must include the following:

If connector-mxj.jar is not present in your download, unzip MySQL Connector/MXJ source archive.

cd mysqldjmx
ant dist
     

Then add $TEMP/cmxj/stage/connector-mxj/connector-mxj.jar to the CLASSPATH.

If you have junit, execute the unit tests. From the command line, type:

java com.mysql.management.AllTestsSuite
    

The output should look something like this:

.........................................
.........................................
..........
Time: 259.438
OK (101 tests)
  

Note that the tests are a bit slow near the end, so please be patient.
