Add the MySQL installer on Files->Distribution Tree and run it with a "Run executable" action after the "Install Files" action has run.

Probably there's an argument for running that installer in quiet mode and to modify parameters of the MySQL installation.

You could do this as part of a custom script to be run as part of your install but most likely you'd have to tailor it to each target environment. It would probably be a bit messy though as the installation process would vary wildly from Windows, to OSX, to Linux (and different Linux distros). Also, you'd have to deal with overwriting existing installations.

If you're code is database agnostic consider using something like http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html. It's pure Java (nothing to install besides adding JARs to your app), runs both in memory and persistent to disk, and feature rich. It would be much easier to deploy as you could have it save the database data in your apps install directory.
