Description
Currently when you select MySQL from the drop down for external databases on the Database Configuration Screen of the Confluence Setup Wizard you get a yellow highlighted warning box that states:
Confluence needs a MySQL driver. Please consult our documentation for more information.
The wording can be confusing when paired with a warning box, and lead one to believe the plugin isn't installed when all that needs to happen is click the External Database button.
I have two suggestions that might alleviate confusion:
- Change the wording to be more obvious that it is a reminder and not a warning that something is wrong
- Base the appearance of this warning box on whether the driver is loaded by Confluence (which it should do at startup if the driver is installed correctly)
