title: Eclipse rcp - how to load jdbc driver?
body: <p>I was wondering if someone could give me some instructions on how to do the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>How to add mysql connection JAR file to the Eclipse plugin build path </li>
  <li>How to add the connector JAR file as library and adding to the plugin's runtime classpath </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am getting com.mysql.jdbc.Driver exception when trying to load the Driver class using <code>Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")</code>. I have added the jdbc driver to the project by right clicking on the project name and selecting add Library button. But I found out there for eclipse rcp project there is a different way of adding the jdbc jar file. </p>
