Edgar and Jon.
I have decided to just use a text file containing the name of each class
that
I need to load and the create and object from.
Although this requires a little more effort to install the plug-in, it is a
whole lot
easier to program. I'll probably write a little helper class that appends
the class
name to the text file that programmers can use in a simple installer.
I'll have more details when I finish with the design and documentation of
the pluggable renderers for OpenJUMP.

Hello Sunburned,
also to minimize the jars searched on you might instantiate a new
Classloader (e.g. java.net.URLClassLoader) containing only a few
selected jars e.g. in some folder or so. I found examples using a
classloader with some other api classes to find classes by interface or
implemented method. But if all have to be instantiated this will be
inperformant true, Still may they don't have too.. long time since ;)
regards ede
PS: just added an example for the classloader building
--
-- from GT2ReaderWriterExtension.java START-->
public static ClassLoader createLoader(){
final String SEP = System.getProperty("file.separator");
String mod_dir = SEP+"lib"+SEP+"ext"+SEP+"readwrite";
File workingDir = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
System.out.println("Working Dir: "+workingDir.getPath());
File extensionDir = new File(workingDir.getPath()+mod_dir);
if (!extensionDir.exists())
extensionDir = new
File(workingDir.getPath()+SEP+".."+mod_dir);
System.out.println("Extension Dir:
"+extensionDir.getPath());
File[] entries = extensionDir.listFiles();
Collection urls = new Vector();
try {
urls.add(extensionDir.toURL());
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {}
for (int i = 0; entries != null && i < entries.length; i++) {
try {
urls.add(entries[i].toURL());
} catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
System.out.println("ExtDir contains: "+urls.toString());
return new URLClassLoader((URL[])urls.toArray(new URL[]{}));
}
