I’m trying to make a simple application that loads and runs some classes during runtime. For example, let’s say I have this config:

module1.classpath=module1.jar,somelibs1.jar
module1.class=com.blabla.Module1
module2.classpath=module2.jar,somelibs2.jar
module2.class=com.blabla.Module2

Then I need to load libraries specified in module1.classpath and run the module1.class with that libraries loaded. Afterwards I need to load module2.classpath and run module2.class with those libraries.

How do I handle the case when somelibs1.jar and somelibs2.jar have the same classes inside? Basically I’d like to run module1.jar using exclusively somelibs1.jar and module2.jar using exclusively somelibs2.jar. How do I implement that?

I’m guessing I need to create a separate classloader for each of my classes and push the jars in that classloaders. However I’d appreciate some example or at least a confirmation that it is a right way to do that.

    This seems to be a pretty good use case for OSGI. I would recommend using OSGI for this as everything you nees is provided by OSGI out-of-box.

    But if for some reason you can’t use OSGI, then what you need to do is to have a classloader for each module. Load the moduleX.class by a ClassLoaderX, and moduleX.classpath should be added in to ClassLoaderX’s path. You can use a set of simple URLClassLoader for this.
