Thanks for the feedback opa. I may have misunderstood some isolation mechanisms in Jenkins.
I thought that changing the optional dependency from database-mysql to mysql-api would not change anything for people who have installed the database-mysql plugin.
opa can you confirm that you still had the `database-mysql` plugin loaded when you had this driver not found issue? it would mean that Jenkins is hiding the jar mysql-connector to pipeline-maven-plugin.

Hello,
Just to report a small issue on that change, I had to manually install MySQL API plugin in order to get version 3.8.0 working again.
