[class.getname] Use class.getName() instead of a string

contents ... Java Classes ... Use class.getName() instead of a string

Magic strings of class names in the source tends to create runtime errors. Better to turn them into compile-time errors.

Instead of


    Class.forName("com.woplox.design.Account");

use

    // if Account class is in the import list

    Class.forName(Account.class.getName());

    // if Account can't be in the import list

    Class.forName(com.woplox.design.Account.class.getName());
