Adding JDBC driver on Eclipse IDE for JAVA

I am using Eclipse on Ubuntu 10
Oracle 10G Xpress Edition


Link to download Jdbc drivers for Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.2

Let's assume you have created an Eclipse  project called Java_project  and you want to connect to Oracle. You need to tell Eclipse where to find the jdbc driver file for Oracle. To do that you should do the following:

• In the Java perspective right-click the project name in the Package Explorer window.
• In the pop-up menu choose Properties
• On the left  list of the new window choose Java Build Path
• On the right part of the window choose the Libraries
• Click the Add External JARs button
• In the file chooser search and find the zip file
      /home/o/oracle/jdbc/bin/classes12.zip
• Click Open to add it to Libraries.

Now you can close the properties window and go back to your project. You should be able to connect to Oracle.
