java - Search class by name -

i'd search class matches given pattern in classes loaded @ current moment.

for example i'd like:

list<class<?>> classess = getclassesfrompattern("*.entity*"); 

and result i'd get:

com.package.entitya com.package.entityb com.package.entityc 

how implement that?

it's easy corn-cps

list<class<?>> classes = cpscanner.scanclasses(new packagenamefilter(                 "com.package"), new classnamefilter("*entity*"));
