install mysql-connector-java in 10.10

[andru183]

I have spent an entire day trying to install mysql-connector-java for either netbeans or eclipse and to no avail, I've followed all sorts of guides and copied the most up to date version of the file to usr/share/lib and changed the class path to it. I've added the .jar to both programs libaries, I still get



Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for xxxxx



the issue stems from Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

anyone of any help I will be so thankful for
