[jdt-dev] Accessing a class that exists in the Project classpath from a

[Cedric ROUVRAIS <crouvrais@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm in the process of writing a plugin and for various reasons i need to access 
a class that exists in the current project classpath from my plugin.

What i've done in my plugin is this:
 Class theFamousClass = Class.forName(theJavaBean);

Where theJavaBean is a class defined in the current project from which the 
plugin action has been executed.

However i'm getting a ClassNotFoundException ... i've tried various workarounds 
but i've had no success in getting that class.

Before writing my custom class loader that accesses the output directory of the 
java project to retrieve the file physically i was hoping that there'd be a 
cleaner way to do this.

TIA,

Cedric
