Bug#706668: mysql-connector-java: FTBFS with openjdk-7

[Verica_Lazova.str]

Package: mysql-connector-java
Version: 5.1.16-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Fails to build with openjdk-7 due to incompatibility with the newer version of
JDBC (abstract methods need to be overridden).
Here is the relevant part of the build log.

    [javac] /home/verica/mysql1/mysql-connector-
java-5.1.16/build/mysql-connector-java-5.1.16/com/mysql/jdbc/JDBC4LoadBalancedMySQLConnection.java:44:
error:
JDBC4LoadBalancedMySQLConnection is not abstract and does not override abstract
method getNetworkTimeout() in Connection
    [javac] public class JDBC4LoadBalancedMySQLConnection extends
    [javac]        ^
    [javac] Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
    [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
    [javac] 1 error

I propose a patch that fixes this issue as attachment.
