Creating a new instance of a class

Posted: Apr 23, 2003 2:30 PM

ok i want to be able to create new instance of a class as the program is running, only way i can think of doing that is storing the name of instance in an array, but how do i use the contents of array/string as the definition name of an instance of the class?

I am totally stuck with this and am a bit of a novice to java, any help would really be apreciated...
