Hi,

This was released as part of Connector/J 5.0.6. You should've gotten notice from the bug system as the state of this bug progressed.

This is taking a bit longer because it is being combined with another SSL patch that allows some more configuration of the keystore. I hope to get this incorporated into the second alpha of 5.1 in June.

There is nothing in the driver that can request a specific .jar file, have you replaced _completely_ the MANIFEST.MF file that comes in the .jar file?

This is often because someone has the driver installed in jre/lib/ext or some other CLASSPATH that has precedence over the one that contains newer versions of the driver.
