Java, is this possible?

Can I take a string that has a class name and create a new class from it? I can do this in C# but I have no idea how to do so with Java.

new JavaVirtualMachine.ClassFactory(new DynamicClassRunTimeEvalutation(className), JavaVirtualMachine.getFactoryInstance().CONSTANT_LOAD_CLASS_FAILSAFE);

Hmm, how do I use that in eclipse? Google didn't help.

Class.forName('HMAFactory').getConstructor().newInstance()

Class.forName('AnusFactory').getConstructor().newInstance().hax()

Okay I'm doing this:
Class.forName(somename).getConstructor().newInstance(x, y, somecustomclass);

but I'm getting back this:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: ((somename's contents, it's a valid class)).<init>()
    at java.lang.Class.getConstructor0(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.Class.getConstructor(Unknown Source)

There is a public constructor and it does accept those parameters, so I'm still lost(but hopefully really close).

You have to specify which constructor you want with the call to getConstructor.

If you're running Java >= 5.0 (which you are), it is easier to do this:
SomeClass.class.getConstructor(params).newInstance(args)

Then you don't have to worry about fucking up Class.forName(String).

Are you illiterate?

OP back for one more question, if this is possible my project will have the best modularity I can manage. Can I get a list of classes that extend another class?

Or, I suppose, all classes in the current package that are instanceof the super class

I take it from the lack of response in over an hour that there's no way to do this?

Well, my little project is finally done, thanks for your help:
