This isn't a java question really, except that it is an issue of dll vs jar<br />
<br />
I need to tell a windows Eclipse project to use the MySQL library.<br />
I have done this on my linux machine, defining a classpath variable<br />
MYSQL_DRIVER to link to a jar file. &nbsp;On windows, however, i can't figure<br />
out how to do it. In the installation of the MySQL there is not a jar file,<br />
but a dll. &nbsp;The classpath variable will not select a dll (only jar or<br />
zip). &nbsp;How do i link the dll to the project?

Eclipse and MySQL on Windows

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
