Database Connectivity

I don't have any idea where to place the "mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar" file in ubuntu 9.10.
yesterday I did this in xp successfully by placing this jar file at following locations

Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib
Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib\ext

If someone has any idea that where would it be in ubuntu 9.10 please tell me.

Moreover, the jar file which I am using for xp; cab be used for ubuntu 9.10 or not if not kindly help me to get this too?

I am using NetbeansIDE 6.7.1 (installed from Software Center), MySQL 5 Server (sudo apt-get install mysql-server) is this enough?

Thanks & Regards

if you installed java with synaptic, it should be located under /usr/lib/jvm and then there will be a directory for what java you installed

i would recommend installing the package, libmysql-java, though it will install a different version of the connector, any reason you are using such an old version?

I have installed but displays following error message

error: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Please reply
