Class.forName() method problem

[yogesh kalaskar]

package test_package;

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class RunAnnotation
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
for (Method m : Class.forName("Generics").getMethods())
{
System.out.println(m.getName());
}
}
}

This is small program ,wherein i am passing argument to Class.forname("nameOfClass").Both classes are in same package .but getting error like..

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Generics

Thanks in Advance

Welcome to the Ranch.

I got it to work by the simple technique of using the fully qualified name of the class. Try "test_package.Generics" as the class name.

And why are you calling it "RunAnnotation" when it doesn't seem to do anything with annotations?
