Error with Maven GAE Plugin + Google Cloud SQL

Here's my plugin configuration:

<plugin>
                <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-gae-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>0.7.3</version>
                <dependencies>
                  <dependency>
                    <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId>
                    <artifactId>gae-runtime</artifactId>
                    <version>${gae.version}</version>
                    <type>pom</type>
                  </dependency>
                </dependencies>
                <configuration>
                    <jvmFlags>
                        <jvmFlag>-Drdbms.server=local</jvmFlag>
                        <jvmFlag>-Drdbms.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</jvmFlag>
                        <jvmFlag>-Drdbms.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/prova?user=root&amp;password=pass</jvmFlag>
                    </jvmFlags>
                    <serverId>appengine.google.com</serverId>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

First I had this trivial error, doing mvn gae:run

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

So I added the "real" driver to my pom.xml:

<dependency>
        <groupId>mysql</groupId>
        <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.18</version>
    </dependency>

with no results. The error remains the same.

Part of the stacktrace:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

edit:

My new plugin conf:

<plugin>
                <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-gae-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>0.9.2</version>
                <dependencies>
                  <dependency>
                    <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId>
                    <artifactId>gae-runtime</artifactId>
                    <version>${gae.version}</version>
                    <type>pom</type>
                  </dependency>
                  <dependency>
                    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
                    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
                    <version>5.1.18</version>
                </dependency>
                </dependencies>
                <configuration>
                    <jvmFlags>
                        <jvmFlag>-Drdbms.server=local</jvmFlag>
                        <jvmFlag>-Drdbms.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</jvmFlag>
                        <jvmFlag>-Drdbms.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/prova?user=root&amp;password=pass</jvmFlag>
                    </jvmFlags>
                    <serverId>appengine.google.com</serverId>
<!--                     <sdkDir>${appengine.sdk.root}</sdkDir> -->
<!--                     <appDir>${basedir}/war</appDir> -->
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Ok I solved. I manually put mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar in my sdk folder:

 file:///opt/appengine-java-sdk-1.6.0/lib/impl/

Error changes in a more comfortable:

java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Thank you for suggestions however
