findSuperTypes
public static List<Class<?>> findSuperTypes(Class<?> cls,
Class<?> endBefore)
Method that will find all sub-classes and implemented interfaces
of a given class or interface. Classes are listed in order of
precedence, starting with the immediate super-class, followed by
interfaces class directly declares to implemented, and then recursively
followed by parent of super-class and so forth.
Note that Object.class
is not included in the list
regardless of whether endBefore
argument is defined or not.
- Parameters:
endBefore
- Super-type to NOT include in results, if any; when
encountered, will be ignored (and no super types are checked).
