What about using what is in Java SE aka ServiceLoader (see
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html).

Or do what a lot of people are doing: just use Spring to load
the plugin.

Or do you really need some advanced features with versioning,
dependencies, unload etc.?

One plugin per jar.

Direct reflection is probably too much a reinventing the wheel
framework.
