Setting up a JDBC connection in eclipse should be the same, no matter which framework you are going to use in your project. Did you encounter a problem following the guidelines in the other question? — sanastasiadis

My problem is not about driver definition, I can't connect Eclipse to DB because I have a ping error — Keyz23

So setting up a JDBC connection in Eclipse can be much easier than your approach. You can instead, try this:

Right click on your Java class in the Package Explorer in the Eclipse workspace.
Go down the list that appears until you find Build Path and click Add External Archives.
Find the jar file called mysql-connector-java-version number.jar and open it. This should connect your JDBC to Eclipse!

Hope this helps!
