Package com.mysql.jdbc.Driver does not exist

Question

I'm trying to run my code so that I can connect to a database and create tables and such although I keep receiving a package does not exist error.

        new SQL();

        m_dbConn.close();  //closes the connection

    }

I have mysql-connector-java-5.1.29-bin.jar within my build path under Referenced Libraries. I tried moving things around and nothing. What do I need to change to fix the error?
