Per Oracle’s Lifetime Support policy, as of Feb 9th, 2021, MySQL Connector/J 5.1 series is covered under Oracle Sustaining Support. Downloadable binaries can be found in the MySQL Products Archives and in the Maven Central Repository.
MySQL Connector/J 5.1.49 has been the last release of Connector/J 5.1 series.
It is time to move on. Users are encouraged to upgrade to MySQL Connector/J 8.0 series which provides the same features as Connector/J 5.1 and a lot more, including a brand new date/time handling support, introduced in version 8.0.23, and the X DevAPI that empowers the MySQL Document Store.
