      public static void addImplClass(Class<? extends VFS> clazz)
      Adds the specified class to the list of VFS implementations. Classes added in this manner are tried in the order they are added and before any of the built-in implementations.
      Parameters:
      clazz - The VFS implementation class to add.
    • getClass

      protected static Class<?> getClass(String className)

      Parameters:
      className - the class name
      Returns:
      the class
    • getMethod

      protected static Method getMethod(Class<?> clazz, String methodName, Class<?>... parameterTypes)
      Get a method by name and parameter types. If the method is not found then return null.
      Parameters:
      clazz - The class to which the method belongs.
      methodName - The name of the method.
      parameterTypes - The types of the parameters accepted by the method.

      the method
    • invoke

      protected static <T> T invoke(Method method, Object object, Object... parameters) throws IOException, RuntimeException
