jdbc: Could not create connection to database server - mysql

Question

I'm trying to connect with my Mysql database using java. I made a fresh Windows 7 install and also installed the newest versions of the JDK (12), Netbeans (11.1) and Mysql (8.0.17). The jdbc library has the version 8.0.17.
Code:
try {
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://"
+ "127.0.0.1:3306/raspiOne?"
+ "useTimezone=true&serverTimezone=UTC"
+ "user=root&"
+ "password=labor01"
+ "&useSSL=false");
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
Logger.getLogger(Databasetest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
The exception:
SQLException: Could not create connection to database server.
SQLState: 08001
VendorError: 0
