find
fun findSubclasses(jarFilePath: Path, parentClass: Class<*>, parent: ClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().contextClassLoader): List<String>(source)
Lists all classes and subclasses in a JAR file for a given parent class using Kotlin reflection
Return
Set of class names that extend or implement the parent class
Parameters
jar
Path to the JAR file
parent
The parent KClass to search for subclasses
parent
parent classloader for delegation; must resolve parentClass and its transitive dependencies. Defaults to the calling thread's context classloader — pass an explicit loader (e.g. the one that holds parentClass) when the caller may run on a thread whose context loader does not see those types, otherwise linking a candidate throws NoClassDefFoundError.
