public class ModuleLoader
extends java.lang.Object

We use this class to dynamically load/unload GUIModule to the TOTEM GUI. Use it as follow :

• Create your module, implementing the GUIModule Interface. Add a public constructor with no arguments
• Add your module classname to the preferences.xml file under section AVAILABLE-GUI-MODULES. It will be automatically added to the module database,
  or add your Module to the Module database by using the addModule method implemented in this class
• Load/Unload your module via the GUI
