Stack Overflow Questions
A beginner question about reflection, I suppose: Is it possible to find all classes or interfaces in a given package? (Quickly looking at e.g. Package, it would seem like no.)
I've just solved another I-though-I-was-using-this-version-of-a-library-but-apparently-my-app-server-has-already-loaded-an-older-version-of-this-library-issue (sigh). Does anybody know a good way to verify (or monitor) whether your application has access to all the appropriate jar-files, or loaded class-versions? Thanks in advance! [P.S. A very good reason to start using the OSGi module arch...
From a Java application I can log a string, using a custom logging framework, as follows: logger.info("Version 1.2 of the application is currently running"); Therefore when a user sends me a log file I can easily see what version of the application they are running. The problem with the code above is that the version is hardcoded in the string literal and someone needs to remember to update...
What is the cleanest way to find all packages annotated with a particular package-level annotation in their package-info.java?.
If I have a package (foo.bar), is there some groovy sugar that makes it easy for me to enumerate all the classes in said package?
What is the difference between a class and a package in Java ?
I'm running an application from a jnlp file that contains useful information such as the vendor, a description, and other field. What is the most reasonable way to get this data at Runtime in order to build an "About" dialog ? Is there a way to detect that the application has been launched without Java Web Start ? Thanks for your help. Pierre

Package objects contain version information about the implementation and specification of a Java package. This versioning information is retrieved and made available by the ClassLoader instance that loaded the class(es). Typically, it is stored in the manifest that is distributed with the classes.

The set of classes that make up the package may implement a particular specification and if so the specification title, version number, and vendor strings identify that specification. An application can ask if the package is compatible with a particular version, see the isCompatibleWith(java.lang.String) method for details.

Specification version numbers use a syntax that consists of nonnegative decimal integers separated by periods ".", for example "2.0" or "1.2.3.4.5.6.7". This allows an extensible number to be used to represent major, minor, micro, etc. versions. The version specification is described by the following formal grammar:

SpecificationVersion:
Digits RefinedVersionopt

RefinedVersion:
. Digits
. Digits RefinedVersion

Digits:
Digit
Digits

Digit:
any character for which Character.isDigit(char) returns true, e.g. 0, 1, 2, ...

The implementation title, version, and vendor strings identify an implementation and are made available conveniently to enable accurate reporting of the packages involved when a problem occurs. The contents all three implementation strings are vendor specific. The implementation version strings have no specified syntax and should only be compared for equality with desired version identifiers.

Within each ClassLoader instance all classes from the same java package have the same Package object. The static methods allow a package to be found by name or the set of all packages known to the current class loader to be found.

public class Package implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement {
    
Return the name of this package.

Returns:
The fully-qualified name of this package as defined in the Java Language Specification, Third Edition §6.5.3, for example, java.lang
    public String getName() {
        return ;
    }


    
Return the title of the specification that this package implements.

Returns:
the specification title, null is returned if it is not known.
    public String getSpecificationTitle() {
        return ;
    }

    
Returns the version number of the specification that this package implements. This version string must be a sequence of nonnegative decimal integers separated by "."'s and may have leading zeros. When version strings are compared the most significant numbers are compared.

Returns:
the specification version, null is returned if it is not known.
    public String getSpecificationVersion() {
        return ;
    }

    
Return the name of the organization, vendor, or company that owns and maintains the specification of the classes that implement this package.

Returns:
the specification vendor, null is returned if it is not known.
    public String getSpecificationVendor() {
        return ;
    }

    
Return the title of this package.

Returns:
the title of the implementation, null is returned if it is not known.
    public String getImplementationTitle() {
        return ;
    }

    
Return the version of this implementation. It consists of any string assigned by the vendor of this implementation and does not have any particular syntax specified or expected by the Java runtime. It may be compared for equality with other package version strings used for this implementation by this vendor for this package.

Returns:
the version of the implementation, null is returned if it is not known.
    public String getImplementationVersion() {
        return ;
    }

    
Returns the name of the organization, vendor or company that provided this implementation.

Returns:
the vendor that implemented this package..
    public String getImplementationVendor() {
        return ;
    }

    
Returns true if this package is sealed.

Returns:
true if the package is sealed, false otherwise
    public boolean isSealed() {
        return  != null;
    }

    
Returns true if this package is sealed with respect to the specified code source url.

Parameters:
url the code source url
Returns:
true if this package is sealed with respect to url
    public boolean isSealed(URL url) {
        return url.equals();
    }

    
Compare this package's specification version with a desired version. It returns true if this packages specification version number is greater than or equal to the desired version number.

Version numbers are compared by sequentially comparing corresponding components of the desired and specification strings. Each component is converted as a decimal integer and the values compared. If the specification value is greater than the desired value true is returned. If the value is less false is returned. If the values are equal the period is skipped and the next pair of components is compared.

Parameters:
desired the version string of the desired version.
Returns:
true if this package's version number is greater than or equal to the desired version number
Throws:
NumberFormatException if the desired or current version is not of the correct dotted form.

Find a package by name in the callers ClassLoader instance. The callers ClassLoader instance is used to find the package instance corresponding to the named class. If the callers ClassLoader instance is null then the set of packages loaded by the system ClassLoader instance is searched to find the named package.

Packages have attributes for versions and specifications only if the class loader created the package instance with the appropriate attributes. Typically, those attributes are defined in the manifests that accompany the classes.

Parameters:
name a package name, for example, java.lang.
Returns:
the package of the requested name. It may be null if no package information is available from the archive or codebase.
    public static Package getPackage(String name) {
        ClassLoader l = ClassLoader.getCallerClassLoader();
        if (l != null) {
            return l.getPackage(name);
        } else {
            return getSystemPackage(name);
        }
    }

    
Get all the packages currently known for the caller's ClassLoader instance. Those packages correspond to classes loaded via or accessible by name to that ClassLoader instance. If the caller's ClassLoader instance is the bootstrap ClassLoader instance, which may be represented by null in some implementations, only packages corresponding to classes loaded by the bootstrap ClassLoader instance will be returned.

Returns:
a new array of packages known to the callers ClassLoader instance. An zero length array is returned if none are known.
    public static Package[] getPackages() {
        ClassLoader l = ClassLoader.getCallerClassLoader();
        if (l != null) {
            return l.getPackages();
        } else {
            return getSystemPackages();
        }
    }

    
Get the package for the specified class. The class's class loader is used to find the package instance corresponding to the specified class. If the class loader is the bootstrap class loader, which may be represented by null in some implementations, then the set of packages loaded by the bootstrap class loader is searched to find the package.

Packages have attributes for versions and specifications only if the class loader created the package instance with the appropriate attributes. Typically those attributes are defined in the manifests that accompany the classes.

Parameters:
class the class to get the package of.
Returns:
the package of the class. It may be null if no package information is available from the archive or codebase.
    static Package getPackage(Class c) {
        String name = c.getName();
        int i = name.lastIndexOf('.');
        if (i != -1) {
            name = name.substring(0, i);
            ClassLoader cl = c.getClassLoader();
            if (cl != null) {
                return cl.getPackage(name);
            } else {
                return getSystemPackage(name);
            }
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

    
Return the hash code computed from the package name.

Returns:
the hash code computed from the package name.
    public int hashCode(){
        return .hashCode();
    }

    
Returns the string representation of this Package. Its value is the string "package " and the package name. If the package title is defined it is appended. If the package version is defined it is appended.

Returns:
the string representation of the package.
    public String toString() {
        String spec = ;
        String ver =  ;
        if (spec != null && spec.length() > 0)

            ver = ", version " + ver;
        else
            ver = "";
        return "package " +  + spec + ver;
    }
    private Class<?> getPackageInfo() {
        if ( == null) {
            try {
                 = Class.forName( + ".package-info"false);
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                // store a proxy for the package info that has no annotations
                class PackageInfoProxy {}
                 = PackageInfoProxy.class;
            }
        }
        return ;
    }

    

Throws:
