IDM 8.0 would not pick up MySQL jdbc driver.

Question

I am trying to create database table using "create new resources" in IDM.
With orcale, I have no issue. I copy a jdbc driver to C:\idm8\WEB-INF\lib and rename it
oraclejdbc.jar.
However, after I copyed mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar ( which works with netbean and MySQL server on
my PC) into the same C:\idm8\WEB-INF\lib directory ( and i tried rename it mysqljdbc.jar too),
Database Type: MySQL
JDBC Driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
JDBC URL TEmplate: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
Host:     localhost
TCP Port: 3306
Database: test
I got an error:
XPRESS <invoke> exception:
Can't call method getTableData on class com.waveset.ui.web.resources.wizard.DBTableUtil
==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: ==> java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
Then I tried the case where I replace localhost with IP Address and th ecase I use Fully qulified
PC name, I got the same error.
I know that the driver works because it is being used in NetBeans6.1
I also tried mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar with the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Could your issue be with this line here:
JDBC URL Template: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testI believe it should be something like this: (As chapo pointed out)
JDBC URL template: jdbc:mysql://%h:%p/%dThe template is exactly that, a template.. The values are filled in by the next three entries
