I the "desired" class is reachable by your ClassLoader, and at least you
know at run-time the exact class name, then the reflection API is
_suitable_ for your needs. You can get an instance of the class by issuing
a Class.forName(className).newInstance();. If you can get all the
"accessible" method & attributes of the class as well and invoke the
desired methods on the instance you've obtained before.
Anyway your post is "out of topic", since you are Greek you could
