Dynamic Class Loading
You can dynamically load a class, and create objects of that class just by knowing its name as a String. Typically you would cast the objects created to some interface so that you could invoke methods on it. 
Class c = Class.forName( "com.mindprod.mypackage.Myclass" );
Thing t = (Thing)c.newInstance( );
t.doSomething();
