Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE

I am trying to set up a JDBC driver and connection to a database in NetBeans. In the new connection wizard I have filled out the following info:

Netbeans New Connection Wizard

I keep getting the error

Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE

I am following the steps on https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/oracle-db.html precisely and it is still not allowing me to do this? Why is this so complicated in NetBeans?

Any help would be appreciated. I have confirmed that the server is running on my local PC with URL: 127.0.0.1
