No suitable driver found (SQLite)

Question

I hope someone can help me. I'm working on a simple application which connects with an SQLite database. Following is my connection code:

try {           
  Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:myDB.sqlite");
  PreparedStatement pstm = con.prepareStatement("insert into hell(username,pssword) " +
"values ('"+tfUname.getText()+"','"+tfUpass.getText()+"')");

  pstm.close();
  con.close();
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Congrats, you have been registered succesfully");
  RegisterWindow rw = new RegisterWindow();
  rw.setVisible(false);
  pack();
  dispose();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
  setTitle(ex.toString());
}

This is just a window to load a user name and password in the database. The problem I have is that when I click on the button the following exception appears:

"java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlite:C\\LoginJava2\\myDB.sqlite" 

(I found an example about how to connect to an SQLite database in Java, the example I found works well)

This program I'm doing it in window builder (eclipse). I'm using the same driver I use in the example I found. I don't know if I have to use another driver. In fact, I've tried with different drivers but that message still appears.

Your classpath is missing the jar(s) that contain the sqlite classes and driver. You need something like sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar or your applicable version.

If you are sure the jar is there, try adding this line of code before you create a connection:

Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
