Hey, I guess there is still a configuration error somewhere. Here are steps to add a .jar file to a plugin:
1) Create a lib folder and copy the jar into it 2) Right click on the jar and select Build Path > Add to Build Path 3) Right click on the project and go to the Properties > Java Build Path. 4) Make sure that the .jar is checked under Order and Export 5) On the Runtime tab > Classpath, Click Add... to add the jar file 6) On the Build tab > Binary Build, make sure the .jar is included If Class.forName still fails, then instantiate the Driver class directly. If there are warnings in any file (MANIFEST.MF), then view the source code of the file and find the yellow markers on the left border. Click on this to get suggestions on how to fix the issue. All these are general Eclipse plugin development issues, on which there is also a lot of extra information on the web and in the Eclipse Help.
