Cannot connect to MySQl database from Eclipse DataSource Explorer.

I tune appropriate driver but I cannot to connect.
P.S.: I can connect to derby db and I can connect to mysql db but only from code, but I want to connect to mysql db from Data Source Explorer to get posivbilities to create tables and so on.

What is wrong ?

I can connect through code.

public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        System.out.println("Driver loading success!");
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb";
        String name = "root";
        String password = "root";
        try {
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, name, password);
            System.out.println("Connected.");
            con.close();
            System.out.println("Disconnected.");
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You need to download MySQL JDBC driver and add it to the settings.

You will see these screens when you try to create a new connection profile in Datasource Explorer. In the last step, you’ll have to point to the right downloaded JAR file.
