jdbc odbc driver ClassNotFoundException

I use the Visual Interdev J++ IDE and when I run ...

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

I get. ...

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun/jdbc/odbc/JdbcOdbcDriver

only when using the the J++ IDE. But I don't get an error when I run the code with the java.exe . I noticed that J++ uses jview.exe. I don't understand.

MS VJ++ doesn't look at the %CLASSPATH% environment variable like most other JVMs and compilers do, it uses it's own, internal settings, and settings stored in the registry

MS VJ++ doesn't look at the %CLASSPATH% environment variable like most other JVMs and compilers do, it uses it's own, internal settings, and settings stored in the registry.

Try this once:

In the VJ++ Project Properties window, under the Classpath tab, you need to add these entries

\jdk1.2.2\jre\lib\rt.jar

\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar

Add the aboave jars according to your jdk version.
