Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a newly downloaded and installed Oracle 10g
Express database via MyEclipse. I need to define a connection URL. The
name of the database I want to connect
to is 'HR' (the sample that comes with the installation). The username
is 'SYSTEM' and the password is 'wgb1454'. I'm assuming the driver is a
'thin' driver (see the URL below). The driver's
package is oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver found in the ojdbc14.jar.

jdbcracle:thin@//localhost:1521:HR,SYSTEM,wgb1454

I'm also unable to connect via port 8080. The database is up and
running. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HR is the *schema* name, not something identifying the database.
For the thin driver you need the *SID* of the database.
The SID of any XE database is XE.
All of which of course is documented in the XE documentation up at
http://otn.oracle.com, including a 'Getting Started' Manual, which you
obviously didn't bother to read.
The username is obviously als NOT SYSTEM, but HR.
