Java database connection problem in Eclipse

[gerardsmink]

Hello,

I have written a java program that can connect with a mysql server.
When i run the program in Eclipse it works fine, when i create a jar
and run the program outside eclipse the program can't connect with the mysql server, The mysql database driver is named on the classpath so tha't not the problem..

Does anybody know this problem?

Application that have been "jarred" do not (and should not ;-) rely on an external class path:

you're right i mean he manifest file is right

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar
Main-Class: Main

so I have no idea where I did something wrong?

Someone an idea?

Then do you put a copy of file mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar in the same folder are your application's jar? What is the error message that gets generated?

Good work! I'm not an Eclipse user, it may be useful in the future if you found an easy way to do this from within the Eclipse IDE. There are Eclipse forums out there and they'd be more likely to know how to do this.
