It didn't worked for me, and I don't know why. The syntoms are a bunch
of nullPoinerException when you try to start ocsetup. I've also read that
someone else had solved the problem updating the j2sdk, but I have the
same Sun JDK that solved the problem...

Yes, there is a warning during the installation and also in the
documentation: but I tried some weird things before pinpointing
the problem. The mysql client seems that use unix socket connectivity
if the tcp connectivity on localhost doesn't work.
