You're looking for Connector/J, a JDBC driver for MySQL.

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test", "username", "password");

Why the call to newInstance() ?
I have seen this popping up in a few answers lately. Where is that coming from?

Check Oracle's jdbc intro,
and the MySQL jdbc intro, listing 4:

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
