Solution for the ClassCastException due to ClassLoader issue

Question

I have two ClassLoaders which loads the same class. So, obviously these can\'t cast to one another. But I need to access an object created in the other ClassLoader.

Answer 1

Reflection isn't that bad, and is appropriate here.
Is this a Maven plugin, BTW?

You'll want something like:

Mojo mojo = (Mojo)descriptor.getClass().getMethod("getMojo").invoke(descriptor);

I'm leaving out a lot - particularly exception handling - but this should lead you to the Javadoc you need. It's quite good, but read carefully.

If you also have two Mojo classes, the cast will break, and you'll have to do more reflection to do whatever you need to do with the evil-twin Mojo.
