[platform-dev] jar files

["ALI H AL-LAWATI" <aha112@xxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I was wondering if there is a way to allow users of my plugin to import a jar
file without having it uncompressed. I currently use ZipFileImportWizard and it
automatically uncompresses the jar file, let alone not allow me to specify
where it should be stored.

Another thing, once the jar file is imported, is there a way to instantiate a
class from the jar file. I have tried using Class.forName after adding the jar
to my classpath, but I still get a ClassNotFound exception.

Thanks..
