JDBC + Mandrake Linux + Mysql + netbeans

Question

I'm trying to conecto to a mysql server using the following code of netbeans. It compiles, but I got a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError on execution time.
Does anyone have any clue of how to solve it?
(I got the netbeans+sdk package, is it complete? Maybe the jdbc class is missing? Where can I get it?)
Thanks!
import java.sql.*;
public class Connect
public static void main (String[] args)
Connection conn = null;
try
String userName = "root";
String password = "kron9013";
String url = "jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.109/Solbet";
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
System.out.println ("Database connection established");
catch (Exception e)
     System.out.println (e.toString());
System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
finally
if (conn != null)
try
conn.close ();
System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");
catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mysql/Connect (wrong name: Connect)

On this line:
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();I'm 99.99% sure you can drop the newInstance() part. However, I'm not certain if that's why it's failing.
