Method Details

ifPresent

public static void ifPresent(String className,
 @Nullable ClassLoader classLoader,
 Consumer<Class<?>> action)

Determine whether the Class identified by the supplied className is present and can be loaded and call the action if the Class could be loaded.

Parameters:

className - the name of the class to check.

classLoader - the class loader to use (can be null, which indicates the default class loader).

action - the action callback to notify.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the corresponding class is resolvable but there was a readability mismatch in the inheritance hierarchy of the class (typically a missing dependency declaration in a Jigsaw module definition for a superclass or interface implemented by the class to be checked here)

loadIfPresent

public static @Nullable Class<?> loadIfPresent(String name,
 @Nullable ClassLoader classLoader)

Loads the class with the given name using the given ClassLoader.

Parameters:

name - the name of the class to be loaded.

classLoader - the class loader to use (can be null, which indicates the default class loader).

Returns:

the Class or null in case the class can't be loaded for any reason.

getDeclaredConstructorIfAvailable

public static <T> @Nullable Constructor<T> getDeclaredConstructorIfAvailable(Class<T> clazz,
 Class<?>... paramTypes)

Determine whether the given class has a public constructor with the given signature, and return it if available (else return null).

Essentially translates NoSuchMethodException to null.

Parameters:

clazz - the clazz to analyze

paramTypes - the parameter types of the method

Returns:

the constructor, or null if not found
