Hello

see

[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#forName(java.lang.String)]

and

[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#newInstance()]

for Classes with paramterless constructor

or

[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/Constructor.html#newInstance(java.lang.Object[])]

for Constructor with parameters
