Answer 1

The problem is that you should run on Java 32 bit try to install latest JDK and it will work

I run it using JDK version "jdk-7u67-windows-i586.exe"

Answer 2

Use UCanAccess JDBC Driver :

Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");
Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://<mdb or accdb file path>",user, password); 
for example: 
Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://c:/pippo.mdb");

So for your example it will be Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://"+path)

Answer 3

I answered a similar question enter link description here a while back.

Basically at that time:

1. You could connect to Ms-Access from 32 bit java through the JDBC-ODBC bridge
2. You could not connect to a 32 bit Odbc driver through the JDBC-ODBC from 64 bit java. There was a message telling you that you can only connect from a 32 bit programs
3. While Microsoft does provide a 64 bit Ms-Access driver, it did not work with Java's 64 bit JDBC-ODBC driver.

Since then there seems to be a new open-source Ms-Access JDBC Driver Ms-Access JDBC driver. I have no Idea how good it is.
