Try reverting your changes to the example and just pass the connection 
parameters on the command line as directed by README-examples.txt.  You 
can do this within the IDE if that makes you happy.  Right-click the 
project you want to run, go to Properties, then Debug, and put something 
like this in the Command Arguments field:

	-s xx.xx.xx.xx -u fakeuser -p fakepass

Then run the program.  Be sure to run resetdb before any of the others, 
with the same command line parameters.  Again, README-examples.txt 
covers this requirement.

I realize you're eager to connect to your existing database, but go 
through the examples first.  If they work, you have to believe MySQL++ 
can be made to work with other databases, too. :)
