Re: Installing the Driver

[Sean Breslin]

I'm very close. I have everything set up with one problem...

DriverManager.registerDriver(new org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver());

In the above line of code, gjt is unrecognized as part of org. I have Connector/J, but don't know what to do with it to fix this. The JAR files all error when I try to run them. Am I supposed to try to run them? How do I install Connector/J into Java? I also tried an older driver, MM.MySQL, which came as one JAR file named:
mm.mysql-2.0.14-you-must-unjar-me.jar

Running that also caused the same error: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from <filename>

I also figured out what my classpath is and have the .classpath file open in Wordpad, so I can set that up if told what it needs to point to. (Since the assignment says specifically not to change classpath, I'll be moving what it needs to point to to somewhere it already points.)
