Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/mysql/jdbc/DocsConnectionPropsHelper

[gammaman]

I am receiving an error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/mysql/jdbc/DocsConnectionPropsHelper when trying to connect to the database. The thing is, it is not even an mysql database, it is an Oracle database. Below is the code I am using to form the connection.

try {
						
			Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
			

			String database = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe";
			
			myConn = DriverManager.getConnection(
					database, "user", "password");

			logger.info("Connection successful");
		//	System.out.println("Connected");
		} catch (Exception exc) {
			logger.severe(exc.toString());
		}

Why would I be getting this error if the database is an Oracle DB.

Did you try to refresh and rebuild your project?
