我知道我来晚了，但我一直在使用pf4j，这是一个插件框架，它工作得非常好。

PF4J是一个微框架，其目标是保持核心简单但可扩展。

一个插件使用的例子:

在你的应用/插件中使用ExtensionPoint接口标记定义一个扩展点:

public interface Greeting extends ExtensionPoint {

    String getGreeting();

}

使用@Extension注释创建一个扩展:

@Extension
public class WelcomeGreeting implements Greeting {

    public String getGreeting() {
        return "Welcome";
    }

}

然后你可以加载和卸载插件，如你所愿:

public static void main(String[] args) {

    // create the plugin manager
    PluginManager pluginManager = new JarPluginManager(); // or "new ZipPluginManager() / new DefaultPluginManager()"

    // start and load all plugins of application
    pluginManager.loadPlugins();
    pluginManager.startPlugins();

    // retrieve all extensions for "Greeting" extension point
    List<Greeting> greetings = pluginManager.getExtensions(Greeting.class);
    for (Greeting greeting : greetings) {
        System.out.println(">>> " + greeting.getGreeting());
    }

    // stop and unload all plugins
    pluginManager.stopPlugins();
    pluginManager.unloadPlugins();

}

欲了解更多细节，请参阅文档

请看看我开始的这个项目:proxy-object lib

这个库将从文件系统或任何其他位置加载jar。它将为jar专用一个类装入器，以确保没有库冲突。用户将能够从加载的jar中创建任何对象，并在其上调用任何方法。 这个库被设计用来从支持Java 7的代码库中加载用Java 8编译的jar。

创建一个对象:

    File libDir = new File("path/to/jar");

    ProxyCallerInterface caller = ObjectBuilder.builder()
            .setClassName("net.proxy.lib.test.LibClass")
            .setArtifact(DirArtifact.builder()
                    .withClazz(ObjectBuilderTest.class)
                    .withVersionInfo(newVersionInfo(libDir))
                    .build())
            .build();
    String version = caller.call("getLibVersion").asString();

ObjectBuilder支持工厂方法、调用静态函数和回调接口实现。 我将在自述页面上发布更多的例子。

下面是一个未弃用的版本。我修改了原始版本，删除了不推荐使用的功能。

你应该看一看OSGi，比如在Eclipse平台中实现的。它就是这么做的。您可以安装、卸载、启动和停止所谓的包，这些包实际上是JAR文件。但是它做的更多，例如，它提供了可以在运行时在JAR文件中动态发现的服务。

或参阅Java模块系统的规范。

另一个使用Instrumentation的工作解决方案对我来说是有效的。它的优点是修改类加载器搜索，避免了依赖类可见性的问题:

创建代理类

对于这个例子，它必须在命令行调用的同一个jar上:

package agent;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation;
import java.util.jar.JarFile;

public class Agent {
   public static Instrumentation instrumentation;

   public static void premain(String args, Instrumentation instrumentation) {
      Agent.instrumentation = instrumentation;
   }

   public static void agentmain(String args, Instrumentation instrumentation) {
      Agent.instrumentation = instrumentation;
   }

   public static void appendJarFile(JarFile file) throws IOException {
      if (instrumentation != null) {
         instrumentation.appendToSystemClassLoaderSearch(file);
      }
   }
}

修改MANIFEST。曼氏金融

添加对代理的引用:

Launcher-Agent-Class: agent.Agent
Agent-Class: agent.Agent
Premain-Class: agent.Agent

我实际上使用Netbeans，所以这篇文章有助于如何更改manifest.mf

运行

Launcher-Agent-Class仅在JDK 9+上支持，负责加载代理，而无需在命令行上显式定义:

 java -jar <your jar>

JDK 6+的工作方式是定义-javaagent参数:

java -javaagent:<your jar> -jar <your jar>

在运行时添加新的Jar

然后，您可以根据需要使用以下命令添加jar:

Agent.appendJarFile(new JarFile(<your file>));

我在文档中没有发现任何问题。

我需要在运行时为java 8和java 9+加载一个jar文件(上面的注释对这两个版本都不起作用)。下面是实现它的方法(如果相关的话，使用Spring Boot 1.5.2)。

public static synchronized void loadLibrary(java.io.File jar) {
    try {            
        java.net.URL url = jar.toURI().toURL();
        java.lang.reflect.Method method = java.net.URLClassLoader.class.getDeclaredMethod("addURL", new Class[]{java.net.URL.class});
        method.setAccessible(true); /*promote the method to public access*/
        method.invoke(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(), new Object[]{url});
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Cannot load library from jar file '" + jar.getAbsolutePath() + "'. Reason: " + ex.getMessage());
    }
}
