Unable to load jdbc driver eclipse

I get the following error while trying to load MySQL Driver:

  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
      at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
      at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
      at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
      at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)
      at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
      at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:171)
      at amazon.category.database.MerchantAdoptionStats.main(MerchantAdoptionStats.java:96)

Th relevant code is:

try {
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");   //line 96
    //Some more code
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
}

I am using eclipse and here are the settings(please see the added jar in classpath):

Answer

You have included mysql jdbc drivers in build path of your project, which is not same as runtime path.

Check your runtime classpath by going to Run -> Run Configurations and select your application configuration. Check the classpath setting there.
