Problem is establishing connection with MYSQL with JAVA on windows

Question

i have installed MYSQL 3.23.54 for window XP and a JDBC connector mysql-connector-java-2.0.14.
i have set the classpath for JDBC driver as
C:\> set CLASSPATH=\path\to\mm.mysql.jdbc-[version];%CLASSPATH%
and my code for testing the connection is
import java.sql.*;
public class Connect
     public static void main (String[] args)
          Connection conn = null;
          try
               String userName = "saqib";
               String password = "123";
               String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test";
               Class.forName ("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance ();
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
               System.out.println ("Database connection established");
          catch (Exception e)
               System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
          finally
               try
                    if (conn != null)
                         conn.close ();
                         System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");
               catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }
. the problem i'm facing is that when i compile and run the program the following message is generated.
Exceprion in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Coonect
please help me out to establist the connection. is the classpath which i have set is correct. i have placed the unziped driever in the folder c.
thanks

Maybe you should have typed "Connect" instead of "Coonect" at the command line?
