/prog/ - Instance name from string

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-20 17:00

Guys, I've been looking what feels like everywhere for an answer to this java.reflection problem.

I want to use the contents of a string to create and instance of an object that has the name of what the string stores.

Eg.
String[] carName = {"volvo","vw","bmw"};

car carName[0];
car carName[1];
car carName[2];

This post looks half-finished.

Why don't you just not bother? It's a waste of time and resources.

Me asking you this or coding this?

Coding it. If you really want reflection, either use a different language, or keep it confined to toy programs.

This is just a part of a bigger project. I am not going to switch to a different language as java has a library that is basic for my code.

This looks promising but returns
"Unhandled exception type ClassNotFoundException"

[And no, I didn't forget to define the class, if I hadn't it would return
"Cannot find a class or type named "Car""]

The nice thing about /prog/ as opposed to other programming forums is that posts like >>1, are invariably trolls.
The con is, it's still not a very good or entertaining troll.

I don't know about you, but I am incapable of bringing my intelligence level to enable myself to write something like >>1. In other words, it's too stupid to be a troll.
