Throughout the RWT code base there are several places where objects are created reflectively. Partly from known classes and partly from strings that represent class names. Class#newInstance() throws several checked exceptions which makes the code bulky. The exception handling is mostly the same but implemented redundantly each time. A common utility class should provide methods to handle object instantiation and its exception handling.
Created attachment 191077 [details] ClassUtil
Committed patch to CVS HEAD. It introduces a ClassUtil class with overloaded newInstance() methods to create an instance from * a given class * a given class name and class loader * a given class and using the constructor derived from the given argument types An unchecked ClassInstantiationException is thrown in case of any error during instantiation. All places where instances where created _manually_ were replaced by calls to ClassUtil#newInstance().
