Answer 1

According Changes in the Connector/J API "The name of the class that implements java.sql.Driver in MySQL Connector/J has changed from com.mysql.jdbc.Driver to com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver. The old class name has been deprecated."

This means that you just need to change the name of the driver:

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

to

Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
