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。

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。

如果你在Android上工作，下面的代码可以工作:

String jarFile = "path/to/jarfile.jar";
DexClassLoader classLoader = new DexClassLoader(jarFile, "/data/data/" + context.getPackageName() + "/", null, getClass().getClassLoader());
Class<?> myClass = classLoader.loadClass("MyClass");

对于jar文件的动态上传，您可以使用我对URLClassLoader的修改。这种修改对于在应用程序操作期间更改jar文件没有问题，就像标准的URLClassloader一样。所有加载的jar文件都加载到RAM中，因此独立于原始文件。

内存中的jar和JDBC类装入器

JCL类装入器框架怎么样?我必须承认，我还没有用过，但它看起来很有前途。

使用的例子:

JarClassLoader jcl = new JarClassLoader();
jcl.add("myjar.jar"); // Load jar file  
jcl.add(new URL("http://myserver.com/myjar.jar")); // Load jar from a URL
jcl.add(new FileInputStream("myotherjar.jar")); // Load jar file from stream
jcl.add("myclassfolder/"); // Load class folder  
jcl.add("myjarlib/"); // Recursively load all jar files in the folder/sub-folder(s)

JclObjectFactory factory = JclObjectFactory.getInstance();
// Create object of loaded class  
Object obj = factory.create(jcl, "mypackage.MyClass");

这可能是一个延迟响应，我可以这样做(fastutil-8.2.2.jar的一个简单示例)使用jhplot。来自DataMelt的Web类(http://jwork.org/dmelt)

import jhplot.Web;
Web.load("http://central.maven.org/maven2/it/unimi/dsi/fastutil/8.2.2/fastutil-8.2.2.jar"); // now you can start using this library

根据文档，这个文件将在“lib/user”中下载，然后动态加载，因此您可以立即在同一个程序中使用这个jar文件中的类。
