Is there a way in Java to programmatically import a class given its full name as a String (i.e. like "com.mydummypackage.MyClass")?

If you have a JavaSW object, you can obtain it's class object by calling getClass() on the object. To determine a String representation of the name of the class, you can call getName() on the class.
To call a method in Java, write the method name followed by a set of parentheses (), followed by a semicolon ( ; ). A class must have a matching filename ( Main and Main. java).
Java provides three different ways to find the type of an object at runtime like instanceof keyword, getClass(), and isInstance() method of java. lang. Class.
If by "import" you mean "load a Class object so you can run reflection methods," then use:
Class<?> clazz = Class.forName( "com.mypackage.MyClass" );
(The reason we readers were confused by your word "import" is that typically this refers to the import keyword used near the top of Java class files to tell the compiler how to expand class names, e.g. import java.util.*;).
