How to retrieve all classes of the classpath
Here the solution:
import java.util.Collection;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassHunter;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.SearchConfig;
import org.burningwave.core.io.PathHelper;
public class Finder {
public Collection<Class<?>> find() {
ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
PathHelper pathHelper = componentSupplier.getPathHelper();
ClassHunter classHunter = componentSupplier.getClassHunter();
SearchConfig searchConfig = SearchConfig.forPaths(
//Here you can add all absolute path you want:
//both folders, zip, jar, war, ear and jmod will be recursively scanned.
//For example you can add: "C:\\Users\\user\\.m2"
//With the row below the search will be executed on runtime Classpaths
pathHelper.getMainClassPaths()
);
try (ClassHunter.SearchResult searchResult = classHunter.findBy(searchConfig)) {
return searchResult.getClasses();
}
}
}ClassFactory
