As of 7.0, you should be using org.postgresql.Driver The connection string
looks ok.

The connection string is wrong. Other things to check are:
If you have JDK1.1.x installed make sure that jdbc7.0-1.1.jar is installed
in the classpath. For JDK1.2.x or 1.3.x have jdbc7.0-1.2.jar in the
classpath.
Ignore references to postgresql.jar, as it's the default filename when
building, but the distributions have the other names to differenciate
between the JDK versions.
I don't know why you were looking for finder.jar - that was a project of
mine that never got released. It had nothing to do with postgresql other
than using JDBC.
