Description:
In the online documentation it should also say that you'll get this error if you've bundled your application in a jar file and the jar file's manifest doesn't have the Class-Path entry to point it to the connector/j jar file.

How to repeat:
Make a jar file without the Class-Path entry.

Suggested fix:
Fix the docs.

Thank you for bug report, but this is a common way how java programs work. Nothing mysql-specific.
