In order to find all classes that extend a base class by using the ClassHunter, we must add to our pom.xml the following dependency:
<dependency> <groupId>org.burningwave</groupId> <artifactId>core</artifactId> <version>12.64.3</version> </dependency>
… And to use Burningwave Core as a Java module, add the following to your module-info.java
:
requires org.burningwave.core;
Let’s take a look at the code:
import java.util.Collection; import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer; import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier; import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassCriteria; import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassHunter; import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassHunter.SearchResult; 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(); try (ClassHunter.SearchResult searchResult = classHunter.findBy( SearchConfig.forPaths( pathHelper.getAllMainClassPaths() ).by( ClassCriteria.create().allThoseThatMatch((currentScannedClass) -> currentScannedClass.getModule().getName() != null && currentScannedClass.getModule().getName().equals("jdk.xml.dom") ) ) ) ) { return searchResult.getClasses(); } } }
