First, MySQL is not a plugin. It’s a fully independent relational database server. You can just install it separately and integrate it in your IDE. Both Eclipse and Netbeans supports integration of external databases using a JDBC driver so that you can access it from within the IDE.
But, by coincidence, Netbeans has a bundled download with MySQL and Glassfish available (which is although somewhat outdated). Note that it is not necessary to download it if you already have Netbeans and/or don’t need Glassfish. Just download MySQL separately from their own homepage.
