MySQL JDBC driver error

I keep getting 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:372)
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:361)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:259)
at ttest.Sql.readFile(Sql.java:28)
at ttest.Sql.main(Sql.java:68)

to 

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

on NetBeans and can't see why!

MySQL is running fine with JPA.

Do i need additional settings for JDBC?

burnt so much of my time!!

TIA

Copy mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar (it is in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector.J 5.1) into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\jre\lib\ext

MySQL connector is already present in Netbeans, you just have to import that into your project. Follow the given STeps

  1. Click project properties
  2. Click on libraries and then Add Library
  3. Click on import ,then you will see many jars available

You would need MYSQL connector in your class path to connect to MySql database from JDBC. You ca get one from here.
