There are several ways to solve this issue however, this is generally the easiest.

Copy the MySQL driver to your project in eclipse. It is a jar file that comes with the MySQL driver: MySQL Driver
Right click on the jar and select 'Build Path' -> 'Add to Build Path'

That should do it. You might have to 'clean' you project (Project->Clean...).
