Dynamic in-line dependencie handling

Hi,
currently I'm trying to develop a stripped-down JSON library. This is for a class I want to share but as I don't want to force the users of the class to use this stipped-down library I'm trying to get some kind of dynamic class handling. For that I tried this:

Code:java

import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.StrippedJSONArray;
import org.json.StrippedJSONObject;
 
private final boolean strippedJSON;
 
public theConstructor(...)
{
    ...
    boolean sj = true;
    try
    {
        Class.forName("org.json.StrippedJSONObject");
        Class.forName("org.json.StrippedJSONArray");
    }
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    {
        try
        {
            Class.forName("org.json.JSONObject");
            Class.forName("org.json.JSONArray");
        }
        catch(ClassNotFoundException e1)
        {
            throw new Exception("No compatible JSON library found.");
        }
        sj = false;
    }
    strippedJSON = sj;
    ...
}
 
someMethod()
{
    ...
    try
    {
        if(strippedJSON)
        {
            StrippedJSONObject jo = new StrippedJSONObject(stringBuffer.toString());
            StrippedJSONArray ja = jo.getJSONArray("versions");
            pluginURL = jo.getString("bukkitdev_link");
            jo = ja.getJSONObject(0);
            nv = bukkitdevPrefix+jo.getString("name")+bukkitdevSuffix;
            turl = jo.getString("dl_link");
            tt = jo.getString("type");
        }
        else
        {
            JSONObject jo = new JSONObject(stringBuffer.toString());
            JSONArray ja = jo.getJSONArray("versions");
            pluginURL = jo.getString("bukkitdev_link");
            jo = ja.getJSONObject(0);
            nv = bukkitdevPrefix+jo.getString("name")+bukkitdevSuffix;
            turl = jo.getString("dl_link");
            tt = jo.getString("type");
        }
    }
    catch(JSONException e)
    {
        printStackTraceSync(e, true);
        return;
    }
    ....
}

Of course this code fails with "Unresolved compilation problems" if one of the libraries isn't present at build time, which is something I want to avoid. I want the class beeing able to build with one of the two libraries and to be able to use the one present at runtime...

Of course I thought about simply providing my own org.json.*.class files instead of org.json.Stripped*.class but if one plugin would use the original org.json and another one use my org.json they would conflict.

Any ideas?

 

Always need both to be able to compile, no two ways about it.
