My first impression is that this is probably not the best way to go about this. Java classes are not like Ruby or Python classes; you can't just call methods on them. Using "eval" is a hack, and probably not a good idea. If you can determine, in your code, which class is needed, then do that and call the static method directly using the (ClassName/ methodName...) syntax. If you really don't know what the class is (for example, you get a Class object returned by some library function) then you can use the Java Reflection API to call the static method.
