On my Mac PC, I have installed MySQL and SQL Developer as well as the MySQL Connector/J, the official JDBC driver for MySQL, so that the MySQL tab appears in the connection window of SQL Developer.

In the SQL Developer connection window, I am filling in the following details

Connection name: test
Username : root
Password: xxxxx

In the MySql tab within this connection window, the hostname and port is auto populates the values localhost and 3306.

There is a button called 'Choose Database', when I click on this button I am getting the below error message in red color

"Status : Failure - The server time zone value 'AEST' 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 specific time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support"

How do I fix this issue so that I can connect to the MySql database from SQL developer?

PS: I am currently based in Sydney, Australia.
