What version of "mysql-connector-java" to include in pom.xml for ubuntu 14.04

Question

The mysql server version installed is 5.5.38 as verified by

sanchit@sanchit-3560:/$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.38, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.3

But in the official maven repository page the latest version is 5.1.32. I think these versions are for MySQL installed in windows.

Which version of mysql-connector-java should I use in pom.xml?

Solution

Versions should not coincide

This is the two different project MySQL Connector/J and MySQL.

In my case MySQL version is:

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.37, for debian-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 6.2

and mysql-connector-java:

<dependency>
       <groupId>mysql</groupId>
       <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
       <version>5.1.28</version>
</dependency>

And that's work well!
