Fwd: Reflection

Hi Donald

well to start with I don't know what the case classes are called other
than by inspecting them
But also it doesn't seem to work terribly well for case classes inside
objects even if I do know what they're called.

I was hoping for something more scala-esque

scala>  BasicModel.BasicSiteres3:
com.timpigden.vrmodel.model.BasicModel.BasicSite.type = BasicSite
scala>  Class.forName("com.timpigden.vrmodel.model.BasicModel.BasicSite")java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.timpigden.vrmodel.model.BasicModel.BasicSite
