Connecting to JDBC with jar

Question

I have downloaded the MySQL JDBC from their site and have a jar file. It is called
mysql-connector-java-3.1.13- bin.jar
I would like to have my NetBeans IDE 4.1 recognize this so I can write java code. It does not recognize the class currently.
I tried adding it to the IDE path
going to the web project, right click for properties.
Choose libraries
Choose the tab that says "compile tests"
Then, I click "add jar/folder" and browse to the jar file
Then choose the tab that says "run tests"
Then I click "add jar/folder" and browse to the jar file
Now I would assume this would be added to my class path for startup
but it doesnt work
Any ideas

Answer 1

I do have the database linked in to my "Databases" with a driver listed under this list. Which is why I do not comprehend why my jsp code can not find the driver itself.
Here is the error I get:
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.7 logs.When I right click on "MySql" under drivers I get the name
org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
so my code now appears as:
<%@page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%--
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
--%>
<%
   Connection connection = null;
   Statement statement = null;
   ResultSet rs = null;
%>
<% Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
//org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database01", "user", "password");
       statement = connection.createStatement();
       rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table01");
       while (rs.next()) {
        out.println(rs.getString("field01")+"<br>");
