Using MyEclipse 6.5.1 with whatever MySQL is included with that version of MyEclipse, not sure how to determine that, I receive the following error:

Error while performing database login with the MySQL Connector/J Driver driver:
Communications link failure

When I created the Connection, the Test Connection button failed.

I am not sure how to start the MySql database if it is not already started.

You can setup any version of MySQL with MyEclipse. You need to make sure you select the driver compatible with the version of MySQL that your setting up. I hope your using the correct version of the driver:-

Also, are you able to work with the database outside MyEclipse?

I thought since MySql came with MyEclipse, I could not use it outside MyEclipse. I am not sure how to do so. The tutorials seem to assume MySql is a separate install.
I do have the correct driver.
I used a blank user name and password when creating the connection object using the provided wizard.

MyEclipse Derby database comes with MyEclipse. You will have to install MySQL separately and then setup the database from MyEclipse.
