Well I agree. Thats why I was suggesting the
Package.getAllPackages().
There is one main advantage doing this which is
that some classes have large static initialiser's (I have one for
instance which takes about 1 minute to load!), and the Class.forName
lookup would I think force this loading. By the nature of things this
could happen accidentally if you're type had the same class name as
one in another package.
Hmmm.
