Hi all,

can anybody tell me, how I could get al list or enumeration of the classes, which belong to a package. I can't see any appropriate method in java.lang.Package :-(

This isn't really possible at run time, since one doesn't know whether a class exists until one tries to load it. The classloader might not even know. Also, a package can span classloaders, adding more complexity to the problem.
