Dynamic classpath

I have a need to have a classpath that is determined by the set of jars a 
user places into a directory.

By way of example, placing jar's into certain directories in a tomcat web 
server will cause tomcat to include them into the web applications class 
path. An example of this might be a charting package used by the web app to 
generate charts.

In my specific example, I am building a query tool and I want to be able to 
tell users to simply drop the JDBC drivers into a directory and my app will 
"pick them up". Thus there would be no need to edit the classpath.

My target environment is Java 6.0

TIA
