Mysql driver and Jbuilder 2005 foundation

Question

I am trying to connect to a mysql server using jdbc and the mysql drivers. Specifically version 3.1.7. I will post my code here although I believe the code is correct and that I have a classpath issue with jbuilder. The error I am receiving on both build and run time is:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
     at methodclassespkg.DummyTester.main(DummyTester.java:39)
I installed the mysql .jar driver file in the jdk1.5/lib/ext as the read me file that came with the drivers stated. I have changed the default jdk to the jdk1.5 update 2 that I installed. I imoprted the .jar driver file into the project and even added the file under tools/configure/libraries. But I still receive this error witht his code
package methodclassespkg;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.io.*;
Class Name: Dummy Tester Class
Description: A dummy class with a main to test the other classes functionality.

Version 1.0
public class DummyTester {
public DummyTester() {
try {
jbInit();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, IOException{
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Could not load the driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("ServerName", "user", "password");
System.out.println("test");
private void jbInit() throws Exception {
Again I am running the free version which does not allow me to access the enterprise tab, I mention this because I saw a solution to this issue that allowed for importing the database driver using tools/enterprisesetup/database drivers. but I do not have access to this functionalitity.

Thank you for the fast response from everyone. WIth you assistance I did reach a solution. I turns out I wasnt calling the driver correctly, syntactlically.
For anyone googling a similar issue as mine, for j connect, your statement must be in the form of jdbc:mysql://yourhost/database?user=name&password=password
that was my mistake
