Error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver while running JAR through Command line

Question

I have a java program in that I am using mysql database connectivity code. I have added mysql-connector-java-3.0.10-stable-bin.jar and mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar files in my resource folder in eclipse. When I run the program in Eclipse it runs fine. Then I have created a .jar file of my project included all jar files in that jar file. But when I run my jar file with java -jar myJar.jar command on DOS prompt it gives the error - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I tried with setting CLASSPATH of mysql-connector*.jar but still getting the same error. Please help me to resolve this problem?

Thanks in Advance ....

What does this command do? ```java -cp mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar -jar myJar.jar``` — opyate, Jun 18 '12 at 09:56
@opyate: nothing useful: If you use `-jar` then all other classpath sources (`CLASSPATH` variable and `-cp` switch) will be ignored. — Joachim Sauer, Jun 18 '12 at 10:12
Thanks opyate for reply, I tried with this command but getting same error — Deepu, Jun 18 '12 at 10:13

You need to edit Manifest.txt file to set the classpath for jar

To resolve the problem you can create "Runnable Jar file" instead of "Simple Jar file" in Eclipse.
