Cannot reference jdbc.SQLServerDriver in Eclipse (ClassNotFoundException)
I am trying to use the MSSQL driver for JDBC. I have followed the instructions on how to add an external JAR file to the Eclipse Windows IDE as follow: - Download the installation from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/aa937724.aspx (Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server) - Extract the zip to a file location I have extracted it here (c:\MsJDBCforSqlDriver) - In Eclipse Package Explorer right click your project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Java Build Path -> Libraries Tab- Add External JAR file and then I browse to "C:\MsJDBCforSqlDriver\sqljdbc_4.0\enu\sqljdbc4.jar"
