What would be a good way to dynamically load java class files so that a program compiled into a jar can read all the class files in a directory and use them, and how can one write the files so that they have the necessary package name in relation to the jar?

I believe it's a ClassLoader you're after.
I suggest you start by looking at the example below which loads class files that are not on the class path.
// Create a File object on the root of the directory containing the class file
File file = new File("c:\\myclasses\\");
try {
// Convert File to a URL
URL url = file.toURL(); // file:/c:/myclasses/
URL[] urls = new URL[]{url};
// Create a new class loader with the directory
ClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls);
// Load in the class; MyClass.class should be located in
// the directory file:/c:/myclasses/com/mycompany
Class cls = cl.loadClass("com.mycompany.MyClass");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
}
