Hello,

i want to use dynamically instanceof in java. I have a string with the
classname to compare. It is possible to get the instance of the class
over this string dynamically?

Greetings

Class.forName().newIntance() but this is a general java beginner
question whereas this forum is about Eclipse Technology

ah sorry, i thought it wasn't that easy, cause i searched a little bit
longer. But Class.forName().newIntance() give me a syntax error with
instance of. i had to do this:

if ( Class.forName ( classNameString ).isInstance ( myObject ) )

Thanks for the trouble

ah I thought you wanted to create a new instance from a string. The
below is correct of course.

It would be good if you know which bundle provides this class and use
Bundle.loadClass() instead. If the class in question will always be
available in the same bundle it doesn't matter:)
