For 6.x drivers you are correct. For 7.x and later it's

  Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

PS: For applications, you have two other methods available. One supplying
the driver in the command line, ie:

java -Djdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver my.application

The other is using Manifest in your application's jar file, which works
well under Windows.
