Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

while i'm not new to java, i am new to jdbc. need to connect a java app to an oracle database (hosted by a 3rd party). i have all the connection info. i've crafted a test program, but cannot get it to compile.

here's the code:

import java.sql.*;

public class SimpleJDBC
{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
	{

	Class.forName(oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver);
	System.out.println("Driver loaded");

	Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@database.host:1521:class"); //, "username", "password");
	System.out.println("Database connected");

	Statement statement = conn.createStatement();

	ResultSet results = statement.executeQuery("select first_name, last_name from user_tbl where last_name = 'Kendall'");

	while(results.next())
		System.out.println(results.getString(1) + "\t" + results.getString(2));

	conn.close();

	}
}

i've set the classpath to the location of the ojdbc14.jar, and it shows in the classpath when i do a "set" on the cmd line. i've tried it in netbeans, eclipse, and straight cmd line.

i always come up with the same message (cannot resolve symbol) on the line where i call Class.forName(oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver);.

i've tried compiling and setting the classpath at the same time. i added the ojdbc14.jar to the compile/build paths in both the ides. i even tried using the old classes12.jar. nothing has worked.

i can't figure out what else there is. within the ides, the intellisense will actually let me put that line in (piece by piece), but then it shows an error.

any suggestions?
