Hmmm... Try:

    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

The org.gjt.mm.mysql hierarchy is just there for backwards
compatibility nowadays.  More detailed instructions can be found in
/usr/local/share/doc/mysql-connector-java/README (or you can extract
that README file from the .jar if necessary).

	Cheers,
