Reflector is a class that hides some of the complexity and error checking of Java's Reflection.
See ReflectorPlay.java for usage examples. The basic syntax is:
Reflector r = new Reflector();
r.loadClass("net.snortum.utils.ReflectorPlay");
r.loadMethod("add", int.class, int.class);
System.out.println("Sum: " + r.invoke(2, 3));
Consider if you needed to load the Joda Time jar file dynamically. The process would be something like this:
String pathToJarFile = "file:///C:/path/to/jar/file/joda-time-2.x.x.jar";
String className = "org.joda.time.DateTime";
Reflector r = new Reflector();
r.loadClass(className, pathToJarFile);
r.loadConstructor();
r.loadNewInstance();
r.loadMethod("getMonthOfYear");
int month = r.invoke();
