Is it possible to use Class.newInstance() on a class located in another JAR? I'm having problems with it. I can do it with my own classes, just not those in another JAR. I imagine this is possible, but am not sure the best way to go about it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Is the .jar file you want to reference in your classpath? If so, I think you should be able to do what you want.

I found my problem. I was migrating code from one system to a reusable JAR and it turns out the object I was casting was of the old type and not the new type that was copied to the reusable JAR. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for the help, tho!
