Class JMSLClassLoader

java.lang.Object
  com.softsynth.jmsl.util.JMSLClassLoader

public class JMSLClassLoader
extends java.lang.Object

Use JMSLClassLoader.load(classname) instead of Class.forName(classname).
JMSLClassLoader.load() first tries Class.forName(). If this fails, it tries Class.forName() using ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() This was developed so that jmsl.jar residing in ~/Library/Java/Extensions on Mac OSX could instantiate classes by name which were outside of this location. Classes in ~/Library/Java/Extensions are loaded by a different ClassLoader than the main Java application.
