Class ClassStringParser

java.lang.Object
com.martiansoftware.jsap.StringParser
com.martiansoftware.jsap.stringparsers.ClassStringParser
public class ClassStringParser extends StringParser
A StringParser for parsing Class objects. The parse(arg) method calls Class.forName(arg) and returns the result. If any exceptions are thrown by Class.forName(), they are encapsulated in a ParseException and re-thrown.

Note: The Class.forName() call attempts to load the class from the same ClassLoader that loaded this StringParser.
