Instantiate a class with a variable as its name



The subject line says it all! This is an extension of a previous topic.

I want to create an instance of a class, but want to refer to the name
of the instance, at creation time, via a variable. So, if I were to
make 3 classes in an iterative loop, I would be able to call the
instances c1, c2, c3 programmatically.

The equivelent is close to anonymous hashes and arrays in Perl, like
$$someArrayName[0];
.. OK, so its not that close!

The result is that each of the instantiated classes can then also be
addressed programmatically-without knowing their exact instance name.
So if I knew that I created 3 classes (which I would, as they were
created iteratively), I could call a method common to all 3 one at a
time.

All of the Java documentation regarding anonymity refers to inner
classes, which although powerful are not the same thing as an anonymous
name for a class instance. Is this possible in Java?

TIA!
