First off all, this will not work. The value passed to forName() should be
a fully qualified class name, i.e. "javax.swing.JButton".
Second, since the set of component types Alex is creating is finite and
small, there is no reason to do this sort of run-time instantiation. What
Alex is currently doing is just fine. The only recommendation I'd have is
to implement this as a Factory pattern.
