Hi
For my computer science course i am writing a java program that connects to a mysql database on my local machine. I downloaded the mysql jdbc driver from the mysql website, and added mysql-connector-java-5.0.5-bin.jar to the java build path libraries in eclipse (Project -> Properties -> Java build path). The program runs and connects to the database in eclipse, but when i try to run the jar file i created from the project, when connecting to the database i get this error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I've tried playing around with java at CLI with the -classpath option, but im finding the tutorials online a bit confusing, is there anyway i can get eclipse to export it and just make it work?
any help/nudges in the right direction HUGELY appreciated
