title: "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException" when executing Java code
body: <p>I get a <code>java.lang.ClassNotFoundException</code>, when I execute the below code.
  Could someone explain me why I am facing this? All I need to do is to connect to the db and fetch some values from it. Is it a problem with the eclipse that I use?</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.sql.*;
  
  public class test_sample {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
                System.out.println("Test1");
                DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
  
                Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
                    System.out.println("Test2");
                Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(
                "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ussbazudb126.ussb.winson.net:1521/epdev", "manager", "&lt;&lt;PASSWORD&gt;&gt;");
                System.out.println("Test3");
               // Statement st = con.createStatement();
                PreparedStatement meta = con.prepareStatement("select project from isac_extract");
                System.out.println("Test4");
                ResultSet rset = meta.executeQuery();
                while (rset.next()) {
                    String project = rset.getString(1);
                    System.out.println(project);}
                }
                catch (Exception e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                finally {System.out.println("Final Block");}
  
      }
  
  }
