title: Dynamically loading a class in Java
body: <p>I looked up the syntax and searched the api but am still confused about the process. I also searched Stackoverflow.  What is the proper way to load a class and create an object out of it dynamically?  In otherwords I want the user to specify what type of object they want to create, and then create that type of object.  I don't want a menu, because I want them to be able to choose any class within the current directory.</p>
