Urgent : SQLException: No suitable driver - using Oracle 10.1.0.2.0

Question

Hi
I am getting the following error when I trying to connect to Oracle 10.1.0.2.0 from my Java programme using JDBC. I have added the C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar to classpath and ensured ojdbc14.jar file at the above location. I am using Java 1.4.2_05.
Error :
ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
SQLException: No suitable driver
Programme:
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
public class CreateCoffees_new {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ratna";
          Connection con;
          String createString;
          createString = "create table COFFEES " +
                                   "(COF_NAME varchar(32), " +
                                   "SUP_ID int, " +
                                   "PRICE float, " +
                                   "SALES int, " +
                                   "TOTAL int)";
          Statement stmt;
          try {
               //Class.forName("myDriver.ClassName");
               Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
               //DriverManager.RegisterDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
          } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
               System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
               System.err.println(e.getMessage());
          try {
               con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,
                                             "scott", "tiger");
               stmt = con.createStatement();                                   
               stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
               stmt.close();
               con.close();
          } catch(SQLException ex) {
               System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
}

Add the Oracle JDBC library to project libraries with Tools>Project Properties>Libraries.
