Eclipse: I have added the JAR file. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Question

I am using Eclipse, I have added the JAR file under lib->mysql-connector...jar , but I am still getting the error that the class is not found.

I have read many other posts related to the same problem, and they point to adding the JAR file, but I have already done this step.

Thanks for the help.

Error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jbc.Driver

Code:

    try{
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jbc.Driver");
        // Connect to the database
        connect = DriverManager.getConnection(address);

        statement = connect.createStatement();
        resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);

    }
    catch (Exception e){
        throw e;
    } finally {
        TT_Close();
    }

You're missing a d .

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

Note that JDBC 4 compliant Driver implementations don't need to be explicitly loaded with Class.forName(String) . The Driver is registered through classpath scanning. Find out if your library is JDBC 4 compliant and remove the call to Class.forName(String) if it is.
