Re: Dynamically load laf


>First off, it's almost always a mistake to write your own class loader.
Yeah, I noticed. I did try to use the URLClassLoader, but I had (I
realize after reading your post) given it invalid URLS, so of course
it did not work... After feeding it good urls it works.

I would do all this before the EDT is created. I.e in the constructor
of my first class.

I have tried the advice you gave me and so far it seems to be working
very nice. I will have to try it a bit more though.

Thank you very much!
