Could not find file mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar

Question

Hi when i try to run sakila database example from netbeans site https://netbeans.org/projects/samples/downloads/download/Samples/JavaEE/DVDStoreEE6.zip

i have some problem showing following in my n output windows of NetBeans 7.3.Beta2

ant -f "C:\\Users\\unknown\\Documents\\DVDStoreEE6 (1)"
-DforceRedeploy=false -Ddirectory.deployment.supported=true -Dnb.wait.for.caches=true run init: deps-module-jar: deps-ear-jar: deps-jar: library-inclusion-in-archive: C:\Users\unknown\Documents\DVDStoreEE6 (1)\nbproject\build-impl.xml:995: Warning: Could not find file C:\Applications\NetBeans\NetBeans Dev
201107270600.app\Contents\Resources\NetBeans\ide\modules\ext\mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar to copy. BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

Can any one guide me why this problem is occurring?

Answer 1

You need to download mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar and then set your classpath. here the link to download

Answer 2

In case if you have already included the 'mysql-connector-java' jar file and are still facing the same error like me, here is what you can do. When the error is displayed in the output window click on the blue link that is displayed. Eg:

 C:\Users\Username\NetbeansProjects\ProjectName\nbproject\build-impl.xml

Within that remove the below line,

<copyfiles files="${file.reference.org-netbeans-modules-db-mysql.jar}" todir="${build.web.dir}/WEB-INF/lib"/>

Hope this helps.
