-This is a port of the mm JDBC driver which is used to access MySQL
-databases using a database-independant API in Java.
-WWW: http://www.worldserver.com/mm.mysql/
+MySQL Connector/J is a native Java driver that converts JDBC (Java
+Database Connectivity) calls into the network protocol used by the
+MySQL database. It lets developers working with the Java programming
+language easily build programs and applets that interact with MySQL
+and connect all corporate data, even in a heterogeneous
+environment. MySQL Connector/J is a Type IV JDBC driver and has a
+complete JDBC feature set that supports the capabilities of MySQL.
-dglo@ssec.wisc.edu
+This port is derived from the original databases/mysql-jdbc-mm port of
+the mm.mysql JDBC connector by dglo@ssec.wisc.edu.
