How to fix mysql jdbc error: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test - jdbc

Question

I have been looking for solution for my problem, but I did not get anywhere. I am using visual studio code to connect java(JDK-19) to MySQLv8.0 and I installed mysql-connector-j v8.0.31 (I am using windows)
I am trying to connect my database to java and I keep get this error:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
This is my code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Connection dbConnection = null;
try {
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test";
Properties info = new Properties();
info.put("user", "root");
info.put("password", "test");
dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, info);
if (dbConnection != null) {
System.out.println("Successfully connected to MySQL database test");
}
} catch(SQLException e) {
System.out.println("An error occurd while connecting MySQL database");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I also added mysql-connector-j-8.0.31 jar file to referenced libraries.
Also added:
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>8.0.31</version>
</dependency>
to pom.xml
