Conectar Java con Firebird

[[David]]

Hola

Me he bajado jaybird, y en uno de los ejemplos me da error en donde os marco en negrita, de momento me gustaría saber que hacer para solucionarlo y si se puede en este post configurar una conexión a firebird desde java, estoy usando eclipse.

el error que me da es este, parece muy evidente , pero lo que no sé que hacer es como solucionarlo.
