This line that is used to load the JDBC driver is the culprit:

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

It has confused me to see SQLException, when is the Driver what cannot be 
loaded.

I know there are some issues with Class.forName().
The JDBC driver is in the same plugin where the call for Class.forName().
If I change to 
MyPlugin.getInstance().getBundle().loadClass("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"), it 
doesn't work either.
Why is this working when launching from a *.launch file?

The only difference I see, is that my plugin is packed in a .jar file when 
running as an exported product, or as a expanded folder.
