Using XAMPP on Win Server 2003 Enterprise with Mysql 5.0.27 and Connector/J 5.0.4.
Trying from eclipse 3.2 both JDK 6 JDBC Driver.getConnection and javax com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource, I get an SQLException on connect:

Unknown initial character set index '48' received from server. Initial client character set can be forced via the 'characterEncoding' property.

Port number, host (local), user & passwd are ok (as changes lead to appropriate failure message).
Such message have been reported before, suggesting using older versions. But separate installation of an older 5.0.15 Mysql didn't help.
