How do you do that?

how do you create a new instance of ClassLoader?
Should I create a DiskClassLoader extends ClassLoader class?

> Hi,
> A ClassLoader always caches the classes it previously loaded and are found using the method findLoadedClass. There is no way to unregister a class in a classloader. So if u want to reload a class from the disk the only way is to create a new Instance of the Class Loader itself and load the changed class file using the new object.
