how to connect mysql with eclipse oxygen in ubuntu

Question

I am trying to create a JDBC connection using eclipse with mysql server using below code of java

package dcv;

import java.sql.*;
public class testdb {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

          Connection con= null;
          try {
              Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
                con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sys", "root", "12345");
            } catch (Exception ex) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            System.out.println("Exception: "+ex);
    ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

But I get error like below after running the class file where root name and password and schema is not wrong and I am using mysql-connector-java-5.1.30.jar file.

Exception: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not create connection to database server.

how can I solve this in my Ubuntu OS?

Does it work if you upgrade to the latest version of MySQL Connector/J (5.1.44). — Mark Rotteveel, Oct 28 '17 at 09:21

Try pinging your database server and see if you are able to connect. Else resolve the network issue and then connect.

Following is a code for create DB connection

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;


 DBConnection() throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {

            url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/(your DB name)";

            user = "your user";

            password = "your password";

            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
        }
