Answer 1

As far as i understand, you need to add sqlitejdbc-v056.jar to your Libraries (build path) so that you can use the jar file.

Right click on your Eclipse Project->Build Path->Configure Build Path...->Add External Jar (under libraries)

Browse to the JAR file and add it.

Then this will work:

    Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
