Fixed issue where certain MySQL Servers contain non numeric characters in the version number which caused a NumberFormatException. E.g. 5.7.22-log

Added global variable called "publishToMavenLocal" so you can publish it to a local maven repository for local testing and linking to your own app, until ready for committing to GitHub.
