I need to connect to a Microsoft SQL server using Java.
I downloaded the driver, an no matter what I did elipse and netbeans could not find the driver.
When I got frustrated I downloaded also MySql driver, and again I get the same exception.
I added the drivers path in the environmental variables and also included the jar files in my project library.
Here is a picture of my project:

What am I doing Wrong?
Thank you very much,
Idan.
There is a typo in the url in order to connect to mysql.
It should be jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:8888
Also I would double check if your mysql server is actually running on port 8888 since normally a mysql answers on 3306.
Also there are multiple JDBC drivers for Microsofts’ SQL server, which have different url. For the microsoft driver the url looks like jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433
Check the documentation of the driver for an example url to start from.
