Java.Lang.Classnotfoundexception: Com.Mysql.Jdbc.Driver in Eclipse

How to fix 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver' after adding it to the build path and registered using Class.forName();

You need to use com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver instead of com.mysql.jdbc.Driver while using MySQL connector 8. Please refer the documentation here.

How to solve java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

You need to download mysql connector jar file(driver implementation) and add it to your class path.

On the side note if your are using JDBC 4.0 (Java 7 and even 6 I think) then you need not use Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");. Simply add the jar to the class path. Driver implementation will automatically be searched and loaded from class path.

Dynamic web project: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

put mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar inside WEB-INF/lib directory, so your web app will find the jar when the server starts up

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver [Eclipse, Tomcat]

It should be in your Webcontent/WEB-INF/lib folder not Webcontent/META-INF/lib

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver error even after importing library

Everybody repeat after me. ( :-) )

"java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" is NOT a compilation error.

Therefore, changing the >>build<< path or adding an import cannot fix the problem.

The solution is to make sure that the JAR file is on the classpath when you run the application. For example, if your test class is in bin\database\Main.class and the driver JAR is in lib ...

$ java -classpath bin:lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.jar database.Main
