yes, I have realized that, and that is basically the root of the
problem here.

yeah, I have realized that, and scrapped my own classloader.

Currently I am doing this:
if(dir.exists()){
ClassLoader loader= ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
java.net.URLClassLoader ul=null;
if(loader instanceof java.net.URLClassLoader){
ul=(java.net.URLClassLoader)loader;
}
File[] lafs= dir.listFiles();
int jarnum=0;
for(int i=0;i<lafs.length;i++){
if (lafs[i].getName().endsWith(".jar")) {
jarnum++;
}
}
java.net.URL[] url= new java.net.URL[jarnum];
int j=0;
for(int i=0;i<lafs.length;i++){
if(lafs[i].getName().endsWith(".jar")){
int ind=lafs[i].getName().lastIndexOf(".jar");
url[j]= lafs[i].toURL();
ul= new java.net.URLClassLoader(url);
j++;
Class c=ul.loadClass(lafs[i].getName().substring(0,ind));
UIManager.setLookAndFeel((javax.swing.LookAndFeel)c.newInstance());
}
}
from what I understand the line ul= new URL.... is actually quite
stupid, since I basically just change the local variable and not the
instance being used at other places. Ideally I would just add the new
url to the existing one, but as I said it is not possible.
Some of this code is not very good, but I will clean it up and make it
smarter and better when I understand what I am doing :)

actually this is pretty much a work in progress, once I got it working
I would clean it up, and look at things like what you mention here.
The same with the code pasted above. I want to solve the problem
first, only then can I begin to optemize away things not needed, or
done in a stupid way.
