Re: [Ikvm-developers] dynamic class loading question

Hi,

You can only do that with reflection and by explicitly instantiating a
class loader. Here's an example that runs ecj from the jar:

using java.net;
using java.io;
using java.lang;
using java.lang.reflect;

public class Example
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    URLClassLoader loader =3D new URLClassLoader(new URL[] { new
File("c:\\temp\\ecj-3.2.jar").toURL() });
    Class c =3D
Class.forName("org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.Main", true,
loader);
    Method m =3D c.getMethod("main", new Class[] { typeof(string[]) });
    m.invoke(null, new object[] { new string[0] });
  }
}

Regards,
Jeroen
