This isn't a driver problem, this is a general java error.
When you call Class.forName(String), you must give as a parameter the 
name of the class with all its package structure, not the path on your 
machine.
So your call should be

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Of course you must be sure that your classpath is set up correctly.
