tengo un error al intentar conectar con mysql con java.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver


package ConectMySQL;
//STEP 1. Import required packages
import java.sql.*;

//STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

//STEP 3: Open a connection
System.out.println("Connecting to database...");

//STEP 4: Execute a query
System.out.println("Creating statement...");
stmt = conn.createStatement();
String sql;
sql = "SELECT id, username, firstname, lastname FROM members";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

//STEP 5: Extract data from result set
while(rs.next()){

System.out.print("ID: " + id);
System.out.print(", fistname: " + firstname);
System.out.print(", lastname: " + lastname);
System.out.println(", username: " + username);
}
//STEP 6: Clean-up environment
rs.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();

Encontre la solucion. En la parte de Librerias en el Eclipse tienen que agregar C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar
o con la direccion donde este
