add mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar to class-path in MANIFEST.MF file in AvatarServer.jar. Example:
Class-Path: mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar
-jar and -cp are mutually exclusive. -jar says: the classpath is the following jar, and all the libraries referenced in its manifest file. So you must use:
java -cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar;AvatarServer.jar com.foo.bar.AvatarMainClass
or, if you want to run your app with -jar, reference the mysql driver jar in the jar's manifest file, as explained in the jar tutorial.
