准备搭建一个Spring Boot 组合mybatis的项目，数据库采用的是MySQL 8.0.11按照以往的配置，使用插件mybatis-generator-maven-plugin生成代码时，一直报错Could not create connection to database server.如下：
[INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building songci-serv 1.0-SNAPSHOT [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [INFO] --- mybatis-generator-maven-plugin:1.3.5:generate (default-cli) @ songci-serv --- [INFO] Connecting to the Database [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1.841 s [INFO] Finished at: 2018-08-22T21:32:27 08:00 [INFO] Final Memory: 13M/46M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.mybatis.generator:mybatis-generator-maven-plugin:1.3.5:generate (default-cli) on project songci-serv: Could not create connection to database server. -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

经排查是，MySQL8.0版本需要更换驱动为“com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver”，之前的“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”已经不能在MySQL 8.0版本使用了，官方文档链接：https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-api-changes.html；
描述如下：The name of the class that implements Java.sql.Driver in MySQL Connector/J has changed from com.mysql.jdbc.Driver to com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver. The old class name has been deprecated.
另外mysql-connector-java也推荐更新到8.0的版本（https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/）。
综上修改以下两点：
1.更新mysql-connector-java版本：
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java --> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>8.0.11</version> </dependency>
2.更换驱动：
<jdbcConnection driverClass="com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test? useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8&useSSL=false" userId="root" password="root"/>
配置好以上两点，运行mybatis-generator-maven-plugin，接着报错如下：
Failed to execute goal org.mybatis.generator:mybatis-generator-maven-plugin:1.3.5:generate (default-cli) on project songci-serv: The server time zone value 'Öйú±ê׼ʱ¼ä' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support. -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch. [ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
报时区错误，解决方法执行命令给MySQL服务器设置时区为东八区，这个是com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver需要指定的：
mysql> set global time_zone=' 8:00'; Query OK, 0 rows affected Navicat中命令列介面执行即可。或者在数据库连接配置中加上serverTimezone=GMT+8（代表东八区），如下：
connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/songci?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=GMT+8"
