How to install a JDBC driver in Eclipse? And where to take it from?

I am recently using Mysql with Java. I want to ask a few things:
1. Do i need to install a version of MySQL(i think this is a foolish question but i have never used MySQL inside JAVA)
2. Where to take a JDBC driver from?
3. How to install it in Eclipse?

Thanks in advance

Q1: i've never used a cummity server. if you want to be independent why not install MySql.

Q2: the my sql website has a download page called MySql Connectors where you can download all kind of connectors. for jdbc use this link

Q3: in eclipse you can install the jar by a right click your project and then select Build Path -> Configure Build Path and inside the Libraries tab push the button Add External JARs.

how to see the name of the driver?
