Не могу установить соединение с базой данных MySQL с JDBC

JDBC.java

    import java.sql.*;
    public class JDBC {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/currency";
            String username = "root";
            String password = "root";
            try {
                Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
                Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
                Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
                ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM rates");
                while (resultSet.next()) {
                    System.out.println(resultSet.getString(0));
                }
                resultSet.close();
                statement.close();
                connection.close();
            } catch (SQLException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

В pom.xml зависимость для JDBC установлена.

Вывод:
