I guess so.

You may perform a check which avoids the exceptional situation like:

     Class<?> class;
     try {
         class = (Class.getResource(str + ".class") != null)
                 ? Class.forName(str)
                 : null;
     } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
         class = null;
     }

The Class.forName(String) could still fail if the access to the 
resource content is restricted, I imagine.
