createClassLoader

public static java.lang.ClassLoader createClassLoader(java.io.File[] unpacked,
                                                      java.io.File[] packed,
                                                      java.lang.ClassLoader parent)
                                               throws java.lang.Exception
Create and return a new class loader, based on the configuration defaults and the specified directory paths:

Parameters:
unpacked - Array of pathnames to unpacked directories that should be added to the repositories of the class loader, or null for no unpacked directories to be considered
packed - Array of pathnames to directories containing JAR files that should be added to the repositories of the class loader, or null for no directories of JAR files to be considered
parent - Parent class loader for the new class loader, or null for the system class loader.
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs constructing the class loader

Create and return a new class loader, based on the configuration defaults and the specified directory paths:

Parameters:
unpacked - Array of pathnames to unpacked directories that should be added to the repositories of the class loader, or null for no unpacked directories to be considered
packed - Array of pathnames to directories containing JAR files that should be added to the repositories of the class loader, or null for no directories of JAR files to be considered
urls - Array of URLs to remote repositories, designing either JAR resources or uncompressed directories that should be added to the repositories of the class loader, or null for no directories of JAR files to be considered
parent - Parent class loader for the new class loader, or null for the system class loader.
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs constructing the class loader

createClassLoader

public static java.lang.ClassLoader createClassLoader(java.lang.String[] locations,
                                                      java.lang.Integer[] types,

                                               throws java.lang.Exception
Create and return a new class loader, based on the configuration defaults and the specified directory paths:

Parameters:
locations - Array of strings containing class directories, jar files, jar directories or URLS that should be added to the repositories of the class loader. The type is given by the member of param types.
types - Array of types for the members of param locations. Possible values are IS_DIR (class directory), IS_JAR (single jar file), IS_GLOB (directory of jar files) and IS_URL (URL).
parent - Parent class loader for the new class loader, or null for the system class loader.
Throws:
