Database Connectivity in junit plugin test

[Evelin]

Hi,
I want to connect to a mysql db for reporting the passes/failures of automation suite.
I am not able to do so when I run test case as junit-plugin test.
I tried with a simple testfile to check this connectivity.
If I run the test case as a simple junit test , the connection is established.
The same code fails to connect to db when I run it as a junit-plugin test.
I have to run my automation suite as junit-plugin test itself. Help appreciated.

This is the test case that I used for checking connection.

public class sampltest extends UITestCaseSWT {
public void testconnection()
{
ResultsManager rm = new ResultsManager();
rm.createMySQLConnection();
rm.closeConnection();
}
}

Result manager class functions:

public class ResultsManager {
Connection c = null;
Statement stmnt1,stmnt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;

public void createMySQLConnection()
{
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://<ip>:<port>",
"username", "pwd");

if(!c.isClosed())
System.out.println("Successfully connected to " +
"MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
stmnt = c.createStatement();

}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getStackTrace());
e.printStackTrace();
try {
if(c != null)
c.close();
} catch(SQLException e1) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

public void closeConnection()
{
try {
c.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

I get this Exception when I run the above as junit-plugin test.

I have added the mysql driver jar in the library.The connection is successfully established when the test is run as junit test and fails when run as junit-plugin test.Any pointers on what is going wrong here will be really really helpful.

Are the plugins needed for mysql access included in the Plug-ins tab in the JUnit Plug-in test launch configuration? From the error message, looks like the plugins are not in the launch configuration.
