Classes referenced in a class

[Rahul Dias]

Hi

Is it possible to get a list of all classes referenced in a class?.
I can get all class variables using getDeclaredClasses() method in Class object, but how do i get the classes of local variable used inside a method
?
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if there are APIs from the Class object, but the format of the class file is well documented and not too hard to parse. Some of the tools that seek out all references for dependency mapping just read the class files that way. A quick Google for "java class file format" got THIS. See if that approach is at all promising.

You may be able to use BCEL.

"Rahul",
Welcome to the JavaRanch!

We're light on rules, but one we take quite serioulsy is the one on display names.

We require display names to be two words: your first name, a space, then your last name. Fictitious names are not allowed.

Please edit your profile and fix your display name.

thanks,
Dave.
