Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I am trying to connect to a mysql server using jdbc and the mysql drivers. Specifically version 3.1.7. I will post my code here although I believe the code is correct and that I have a classpath issue with jbuilder. The error I am receiving on both build and run time is:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at methodclassespkg.DummyTester.main(DummyTester.java:39)

I installed the mysql .jar driver file in the jdk1.5/lib/ext as the read me file that came with the drivers stated. I have changed the default jdk to the jdk1.5 update 2 that I installed. I imoprted the .jar driver file into the project and even added the file under tools/configure/libraries. But I still receive this error witht his code


package methodclassespkg;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.io.*;

public class DummyTester {
public DummyTester() {
try {
jbInit();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, IOException{
try{

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Could not load the driver");
}

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("ServerName", "user", "password");

System.out.println("test");
}

private void jbInit() throws Exception {
}

}

Again I am running the free version which does not allow me to access the enterprise tab, I mention this because I saw a solution to this issue that allowed for importing the database driver using tools/enterprisesetup/database drivers. but I do not have access to this functionalitity.
