No suitable driver found for jdbc mysql?

I had the same problem. I solved it by adding:

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

For all but the most trivial applications the CLASSPATH environment variable is NOT used. Normally the libraries are include in the Class-Path entry in the manifest of the jar, or in the -cp option of the java commandline.

In this case you need to add the MySQL JDBC driver to the buildpath of your Eclipse project.
