The exception java.lang.classnotfoundexception com.mysql.jdbc.driver occurs in Eclipse project when there is not JDBC Driver class in the project.

If you are working on a project in Eclipse that connects to the MySQL database server and you are not able to execute the program due to the following exception:

            at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
            at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
            at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
            at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
            at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
            at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
            at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
            at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
            at com.devmanuals.BatchExample.main(BatchExample.java:20)
