Which JDBC driver do I want?

Question

I have the oracle database on a oracle linux guest VM on a Windows 7 host.
I want to run queries on the windows 7 host that execute in the linux oracle guest OS running the oracle database.
I would like to run [http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/|http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/] and execute SQL queries and write java programs that use the jdbc drivers to execute queries on windows 7.
Sooo.... I go to this page:
[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-112010-090769.html|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-112010-090769.html]
And I'm overwhelmed with choices! Can someone help me identify which JDBC driver I want?
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3) JDBC Drivers
SimpleFAN
simplefan.jar (20,345 bytes), simplefan policy, javadoc
JDBC Thin for All Platforms
     JavaDoc (6,456,081 bytes)
     README
     ojdbc5.jar (2,095,932 bytes) - Classes for use with JDK 1.5. It contains the JDBC driver classes, except classes for NLS support in Oracle Object and Collection types.
     ojdbc5_g.jar (3,426,203 bytes) - Same as ojdbc5.jar, except that classes were compiled with "javac -g" and contain tracing code.
     ojdbc6.jar (2,714,189 bytes) - Classes for use with JDK 1.6. It contains the JDBC driver classes except classes for NLS support in Oracle Object and Collection types.
     ojdbc6_g.jar (4,463,274 bytes) - Same as ojdbc6.jar except compiled with "javac -g" and contains tracing code.
     ojdbc5dms.jar (2,617,374 bytes) - Same as ojdbc5.jar, except that it contains instrumentation to support DMS and limited java.util.logging calls.
     ojdbc5dms_g.jar (3,447,502 bytes) - Same as ojdbc5_g.jar, except that it contains instrumentation to support DMS.
     ojdbc6dms.jar (3,327,932 bytes) - Same as ojdbc6.jar, except that it contains instrumentation to support DMS and limited java.util.logging calls.
     ojdbc6dms_g.jar (4,486,082 bytes) - Same as ojdbc6_g.jar except that it contains instrumentation to support DMS.
     orai18n.jar (1,656,248 bytes) - NLS classes for use with JDK 1.5, and 1.6. It contains classes for NLS support in Oracle Object and Collection types. This jar file replaces the old nls_charset jar/zip files.
     demo.zip (606,505 bytes) - contains sample JDBC programs.
     xdb6.jar (262,740 bytes) - To use the standard JDBC4.0 java.sql.SQLXML interface with JDBC 11.2.0.3, you need to use xdb6.jar (instead of xdb.jar) from the 11.2.0.3 distribution..
Note: For platform specific JDBC-OCI libraries See Instant Client

I restored the original source and compiled it on my linux VM and recieved a similar stack trace.
Here is the result of the first command:
