...and not being a Java programmer, I have no idea if that makes sense, but here's what I'm taking about.
In VB6, I routinely use CreateObject to create activex objects on the fly that the calling application has no knowledge of--no references, no links of any kind. If the object isn't available on the machine, CreateObject errors, otherwise I have an activex object I can use.
Now, I don't care about activex--here's my question: Assuming I have some java class implemented in an external .jar file, and the calling jabaco app has no knowledge of it, then: What statements can I use to instantiate and use a class out of this external .jar?
