Connection with Ms sql server 2005

Question

Hi
I will be glad if someone help me.
I want to make a connection with sql server 2005, I have tried with many drivers but I failed
This is my simple code
import java.sql.*;
public class Test2 {
public static void  main(String args [])
try
   Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://MOON-B52CC77905:1433\\MARTIN/emp","usr","pwd");
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
System.err.println(cnfe);
catch (SQLException sqle)
System.err.println(sqle);
    }getting two common errors:-
1/ some Attempts with sqljdbc.jar are generating *[ no suitable Driver ]* error.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\bin>java -cp sqljdbc.jar;.; Test2
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver2/other attempts with sqljdbc4.jar generates the following error
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\bin>java -cp sqljdbc4.jar;.; Test2
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version n

If you had done a simple Google and looked it up on Microsofts site you would have found [URL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378422.aspx]this, which explains that it needs 1.6 to run.
ETA: Also you might have found [URL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378526.aspx]this, which explains what the connection string should look like.
jdbc:sqlserver:<etc etc>
