I have Oracle SQL Developer already installed and am able to connect to and query Oracle databases.
Using Help -> Check for Updates I was able to install the Oracle MySQL Browser extension but there are no connection options for MySQL databases.
This question is related to
mysql
oracle
oracle-sqldeveloper
Under Tools > Preferences > Databases there is a third party JDBC driver path that must be setup. Once the driver path is setup a separate 'MySQL' tab should appear on the New Connections dialog.
Note: This is the same jdbc connector that is available as a JAR download from the MySQL website.
In fact you should do both :
Add driver
Add Oracle SQL developper connector
Next time you will add a connection, MySQL new tab is available !

Here's another extremely detailed walkthrough that also shows you the entire process, including what values to put in the connection dialogue after the JDBC driver is installed: http://rpbouman.blogspot.com/2007/01/oracle-sql-developer-11-supports-mysql.html

Although @BrianHart 's answer is correct, if you are connecting from a remote host, you'll also need to allow remote hosts to connect to the MySQL/MariaDB database.

My experience with windows client and linux/mysql server:
When sqldev is used in a windows client and mysql is installed in a linux server meaning, sqldev network access to mysql.
Assuming mysql is already up and running and the databases to be accessed are up and functional:
• Ensure the version of sqldev (32 or 64). If 64 and to avoid dealing with path access copy a valid 64 version of msvcr100.dll into directory ~\sqldeveloper\jdev\bin.
a. Open the file msvcr100.dll in notepad and search for first occurrence of “PE “
i. “PE d” it is 64.
ii. “PE L” it is 32.
b. Note: if sqldev is 64 and msvcr100.dll is 32, the application gets stuck at startup.
• For sqldev to work with mysql there is need of the JDBC jar driver. Download it from mysql site.
a. Driver name = mysql-connector-java-x.x.xx
b. Copy it into someplace related to your sqldeveloper directory.
c. Set it up in menu sqldev Tools/Preferences/Database/Third Party JDBC Driver (add entry)
• In Linux/mysql server change file /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf look for
bind-address = 127.0.0.1 (this linux localhost)
and change to
bind-address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this linux server real IP or machine name if DNS is up)
• Enter to linux mysql and grant needed access for example
# mysql –u root -p
GRANT ALL ON . to root@'yourWindowsClientComputerName' IDENTIFIED BY 'mysqlPasswd';
flush privileges;
restart mysql - sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
• Start sqldev and create a new connection
a. user = root
b. pass = (your mysql pass)
c. Choose MySql tab
i. Hostname = the linux IP hostname
ii. Port = 3306 (default for mysql)
iii. Choose Database = (from pull down the mysql database you want to use)
iv. save and connect
That is all I had to do in my case.
Thank you,

You may find the following relevant as well:
Oracle SQL Developer connection to Microsoft SQL Server
In my case I had to place the ntlmauth.dll in the sql-developer application directory itself (i.e. sql-developer\jdk\jre\bin). Why this location over the system jre/bin I have no idea. But it worked.
