I see, I wasn't aware of this technique.

It definitely can't have to do with the import statements in the file.
That only applies to classes  that are used directly, e.g. you need
'import java.util.Vector;' if you want to write  'Vector v = new
Vector();' The argument of Class.forName has to be fully stated, e.g.
'Class.forName("java.util.Vector");' even if you specified 'import
java.util.Vector;'
