Question

So I have created an instance of a class by searching through jar files with no problems, I have it set to create an instance using c.newInstance() (Is instance the right word to use here?)

Later on in the program I may want to create another instance of that class if a certain event occurs. How can I go about creating this without having to search through all of the Jar files until I find the right one and then creating it again? Is there a way to create it somehow if I still have a reference to the first one?

Please assume that I do not know the name of the classes that will be loaded until runtime and there will be multiple classes that will be loaded.

Thanks

Assuming “x” is the object you created …

x.getClass().newInstance();
