Change ClassLoader.loadClass() to 3 arg version of Class.forName() for Java 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEEHIVE-1209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1209
Project: Beehive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Controls, NetUI
Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0
Reporter: Carlin Rogers
Fix For: V.Next
With Java 6, the calls to ClassLoader.loadClass() for array types will fail
with a ClassNotFoundException. Sun "highly" recommends that
classLoader.loadClass(className)
be replaced with
Class.forName(className, false, classLoader)
The issue is described in...

Basically, ClassLoader.loadClass() is fine for plain classes (which is most of
the cases in Beehive that I looked at), not for arrays etc. However, based on
the recommendation from Sun, I can go through the code and just make changes to
use Class.forName()
