Connecting Java to SQL DB (XAMPP)

I'm trying to connect Java to SQL DataBase and XAMPP, but the ide returns me the error 08S01. I read many topics on the web about the driver, but I couldn't solve my problem. Can someone help me? I attached my code. Thanks in advance, Davide

P.S.: The name of the DB is written in the arguments of the ide. I'm trying to connect and create a table into the DataBase. However the code works on other ide, but not on Intellij Idea (Mac), is it a driver problem?

ERROR:

Error
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
Error 0
Error 08S01
