I am having problems calling classes at run time in java Im basically making a plugin framework
it starts off by opening plugin/Plugins.cfg and parses the test into a map.. EX text in cfg file 1 = myplugin 2 = plugin2
(each plugins main class is: plugin.(plugin name).main.class)
as you can see it loads each value from the map and trys to run its main class
public static void loadPlugins()
{
int x = hackers.core.startup.InitializeGame.map.size();
for (int i = 1; i<=x;i++)
{
String className = hackers.core.startup.InitializeGame.map.get(i + "");
File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "plugins" + File.separator + className);
URL url = null;
try {
url = file.toURI().toURL();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
URL[] urls = new URL[]{url};
ClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls);
try {
Class cls = cl.loadClass("plugin." + className + ".main");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(className);
}
}
Class cls = cl.loadClass("plugin." + className + ".main");
^line gives me the error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: plugin.myplugin.main
anyone know whats wrong here?, or any suggestions, I have looked at an API for it but it was confusing to me and lacks documentation.
