🔧 Configuration

Database Connection

Edit Database.java:

public class Database {
    private static final String DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
    private static final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/java_menu_makanan";
    private static final String USER = "root";

    }
}

🐛 Troubleshooting

MySQL Connector Not Found -Download MySQL Connector/J from official site

  • Add to project libraries in NetBeans

Database Connection Failed

  • Verify MySQL is running
  • Check credentials in Database.java
  • Ensure database exists

NetBeans Won't Build

  • Clean project first (Shift+F11)
  • Ensure JDK is properly configured
