I think the check in ClassReader should be improved a little to take care of languages that are not Java but compile to .class, i.e. allow className.* Does the notion of auxiliary class files even applies to non-Java languages?

of course not

I expect most of the classes generated by non-Java language targeting the JVM to generate lots of synthetic cruft.

Far less now since they all (cough cough) use invokedynamic.

I maybe wrong but the code proposed by Fredrik in ClassReader will flag all classes that are not issued from a .java file as auxiliary classes. At least, a class with a filename that doesn't end with '.java' should not be tagged as auxiliary.
