jabref can be removed from this list after the most recent upload. I only had to update the (java) package name in the sources - i.e.: - "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", + "org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver", At runtime, the mariadb-java-client JAR does seem to be a drop-in replacement. I tested against mysql-5.7 both before and after the change, and was able to use the same connection string, etc. The information on the MariaDB Connector/J page [1] was helpful.
