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

下面是Allain的方法的一个快速变通方法，使其与新版本的Java兼容:

ClassLoader classLoader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
try {
    Method method = classLoader.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("addURL", URL.class);
    method.setAccessible(true);
    method.invoke(classLoader, new File(jarPath).toURI().toURL());
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
    Method method = classLoader.getClass()
            .getDeclaredMethod("appendToClassPathForInstrumentation", String.class);
    method.setAccessible(true);
    method.invoke(classLoader, jarPath);
}

请注意，它依赖于特定JVM内部实现的知识，因此它不是理想的，也不是通用的解决方案。但是，如果您知道您将使用标准的OpenJDK或Oracle JVM，这是一种快速而简单的解决方法。在将来发布新的JVM版本时，它也可能会崩溃，所以您需要记住这一点。

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。

在Java 9中，URLClassLoader的答案现在会给出如下错误:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader cannot be cast to java.base/java.net.URLClassLoader

这是因为所使用的类装入器发生了变化。相反，要添加到系统类装入器，您可以通过代理使用Instrumentation API。

创建代理类:

package ClassPathAgent;

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

public class ClassPathAgent {
    public static void agentmain(String args, Instrumentation instrumentation) throws IOException {
        instrumentation.appendToSystemClassLoaderSearch(new JarFile(args));
    }
}

添加meta - inf / MANIFEST。MF并将其与代理类一起放在JAR文件中:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Agent-Class: ClassPathAgent.ClassPathAgent

运行代理:

使用bytes -buddy-agent库将代理添加到运行的JVM中:

import java.io.File;

import net.bytebuddy.agent.ByteBuddyAgent;

public class ClassPathUtil {
    private static File AGENT_JAR = new File("/path/to/agent.jar");

    public static void addJarToClassPath(File jarFile) {
        ByteBuddyAgent.attach(AGENT_JAR, String.valueOf(ProcessHandle.current().pid()), jarFile.getPath());
    }
}

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。

下面的解决方案有点笨拙，因为它使用反射来绕过封装，但它工作得完美无缺:

File file = ...
URL url = file.toURI().toURL();

URLClassLoader classLoader = (URLClassLoader)ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
Method method = URLClassLoader.class.getDeclaredMethod("addURL", URL.class);
method.setAccessible(true);
method.invoke(classLoader, url);
