Embedded MySQL in Java With Connector/MXJ and 64-bit Linux

This really helped me as I had to write some integration test which uses MySQL import feature and using other in-memory DB was not a good option.

Another tip: if you need to wait in an integration/unit test, you can use CountDownLatch.

ICONIX Process for OOAD
