[jsword-devel] ClassUtil and Java extension mechanism ClassNotFoundException

[Tonny Kohar]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the implementation of
Class.forName("SomeClass") in org.crosswire.common.util.ClassUtil  to
from
Class impl = Class.forName("some.package.SomeClass"); // replace this with
ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); // this
Class c = cl.loadClass("some.module.Class");

It is because Class.forName have various issues with Java extension
mechanism and most often it will end up with ClassNotFoundException.
For more detail regarding Class.forName problem, please look at this

Cheers
