-----------------------------------------
Hi, technically you are right, MariaDB and mySQL uses the driver and
connector. MariaDB does have its own connector and separate calling
sequence. Some people other than us may not know the history. If this is
an easy change, then it should be added. It is definitely not a blocker.

> Add support for MariaDB JDBC driver in Add Connection dialog
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-673
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-673
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: db - Code
> Affects Versions: 9.0
> Reporter: Eirik Bakke
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Attachments: NETBEANS-673 Patch Screenshot Updated.png
>
> Time Spent: 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The "Add Connection" wizard does not currently recognize the MariaDB JDBC
> driver; this means that the "host", "port", and "database" fields do not end
> up being shown in the connection panel. Instead, the user has to manually
> construct the JDBC URL to insert this information.
> The fix is simple; a new entry needs to be added in
> org.netbeans.modules.db.util.DriverListUtil , recognizing the driver class
> "org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver" (instead of "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" for MySQL). The
> MariaDB driver uses the exact same format for its JDBC URLs as MySQL, except
> allows the protocol name "mariadb" to be used instead of "mysql".
> (MariaDB and its driver aims to be completely compatible with MySQL--either
> driver can be used to connect to either database. The MariaDB JDBC driver is
> LGPL while MySQL's driver is GPL, however, making only the MariaDB one
> suitable for bundling with commercial software.)
> See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-170, which deals with
> simplifying the JDBC driver download process.
