Issue with JasperReports Server 5.5 WAR Installation Using MySQL As the Repository Datasource

When using a JasperReports Server 5.5 WAR distribution package to install the application using a MySQL repository data source with a "mysql-connector-java" jar file, users got the following error during the installation:

BUILD FAILED

/opt/jasperreports/server/5.5/buildomatic/bin/validation.xml:492: The following
error occurred while executing this line:
/opt/jasperreports/server/5.5/buildomatic/bin/validation.xml:373: The following
error occurred while executing this line:
/opt/jasperreports/server/5.5/buildomatic/conf_source/db/mysql/db.xml:29: The
following error occurred while executing this line:
/opt/jasperreports/server/5.5/buildomatic/bin/app-server.xml:60:
/opt/jasperreports/server/5.5/buildomatic/bin/app-server.xml:60: Error invoking
getDriver() method

In this case, users should use "mariadb-java-client" jar that comes with our installation package to carry out the installation. This JDBC jar supports MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 as the certified repository DB for JasperReports Server v5.5 product.
