public static ClassforName(String className)
                     throws ClassNotFoundException

Returns the Class object associated with the class or interface with the given string name. Invoking this method is equivalent to:

  Class.forName(className, true, currentLoader)

where currentLoader denotes the defining class loader of the current class.

For example, the following code fragment returns the runtime Class descriptor for the class named java.lang.Thread:

   Class t = Class.forName("java.lang.Thread")

A call to forName("X") causes the class named X to be initialized.

Parameters:

className - the fully qualified name of the desired class.

Returns:

the Class object for the class with the specified name.

Throws:

LinkageError - if the linkage fails

ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked by this method fails

ClassNotFoundException - if the class cannot be located
