In this article let’s take a look at how to find all classes of a package in Java

To find all classes of a package in Java we can use the ClassHunter of Burningwave Core library. So we start by adding the following dependency to our pom.xml:

XML

1

<dependency>2
    <groupId>org.burningwave</groupId>3
    <artifactId>core</artifactId>4
    <version>8.4.0</version>5
</dependency>

The next steps are the following:

• retrieving the ClassHunter through the ComponentContainer
• defining a regular expression that we must pass to the **ClassCriteria **object that will be injected into the **SearchConfig **object
• calling the **loadInCache **method that loads in the cache all loadable classes of the indicated paths, then applies the criteria filter and then returns the **SearchResult **object which contains the classes that match the criteria
