On the other hand, I opened the "Database Development" perspective in the Eclipse, and tryed to create Connection through the "Data Source Explorer", following the wizard leading through the process. Unfortunately, I failed to get the correct result. Only I had "Ping failed" or "Couldn't connect to NewMySQL"

I didn't do any of that in the end. I just right clicked on the folder containing the package and classes, went to properties, goto Java Build Path, Add external Jars, and then added the j connector jar file. Before you do that, put j connector jar in the workspace file.

I hope that helps.
