Eclipse Java项目forName（）classNotFoundException

Question

I am trying to do a Java Project in Eclipse in Win7 and I wanted to test some methods. But when I run as Java application I get this error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

And it also pointed this line:

Class.forName("ceng.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

I looked at some questions here with the same error code and it is like there is a different syntax for this code. But my teacher gave me this code and it was working in Ubuntu. Maybe this is caused because I use Windows.

I have 2 files in the same package, one of them is the Main.java. I put the mysql...jar thing on a folder named lib inside the project and put it also to the build path.

Anyway, how can I fix this? Thank you for advance :)

Answer 1

change

Class.forName("ceng.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

to

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

There is a package called com.mysql.jdbc in the jar you have added and inside that a class named Driver is there.
