Scanning Java annotations at runtime [closed]

Answer 1

Use org.springframework.context.annotation.ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider

API

A component provider that scans the classpath from a base package. It then applies exclude and include filters to the resulting classes to find candidates.

ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider scanner =
new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider();

scanner.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(.class));

for (BeanDefinition bd : scanner.findCandidateComponents())
    System.out.println(bd.getBeanClassName());
