Invoke a Java class by name

My DSL generates Java code but I also have an interpreter that works on MPS.
For the operators, it's very simple to provide the behaviour and collect the result; however my DSL also provides functions which are available as Java Jar files.
I don't want to statically refer to the Java classes/methods, so I tried to use dynamic loading but I can never find these classes.
Has anyone tried out a scenario like this?
Any suggestions?

The parameters identify the very specific method you need if there are several overloaded available, if the method has no arguments, only give methodName.

I've managed to get it right with some help off-forum.
If someone else has this problem: I was adding the JARs as stubs but what I should have done was add them as Libraries in the solution (see pic).

After this step, dynamic loading worked perfectly.
