Hello,
I've recently written a project that serves as a parser. The parser's
purpose, among other things, is to read a given text file and find out - at
certain points - that it needs to load a specific class and instantiate it
(using, Class.forName("...");).
Due to a requirement, that I must fullfill, I need to make a plugin out of
it. The good news is that I've successfully created a plugin for this
project and it works, except in the following case:
When I save a text file and write to it a NEW class name (A class which is
NOT part of the plugin, but it inherits from a class that does exist) - The
plugin is unable to find the class (I get an instantiation exception...).
My question is: How can I let the plugin instantiate the new class (without
the need to physically add it to the plugin).
Note: Another requirement was that I need to be able to extend the system
(by writing new classes that inherit from a certain class that IS located in
the plugin) WITHOUT the need to re-create the plugin, or add to it the new
classes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :-)
Thanx in advance,
Dj Shark
