Where can I download mysql jdbc jar from

Question

I installed and tried to use jasper report studio  The first brick wall you hit when you try to create a datasource for your reports is   java lang ClassNotFoundException  com mysql jdbc Driver   The forums say I need to install a jar on the classpath  I have no idea how to do this  so the first hurdle is how to get the jar  The only place I can find is this     http   dev mysql com downloads connector j    but this unfortunately gives you an msi installer  not a jar  I don t want to install stuff  just get the jar   I have mysql DB installed  had have trawled through the install dir in program files  but can t find the jar   Anyone know the official  not malware site  way to get hold of the mysql jar   It seems bizarre that its so hard to find   I have windows 8 64 bit and mysql 5 6
