FastClasspathScanner (FastClasspathScanner 2.0.14 API)

java.lang.Object
- io.github.lukehutch.fastclasspathscanner.FastClasspathScanner

```
public class FastClasspathScanner
extends Object
```
Uber-fast, ultra-lightweight Java classpath scanner. Scans the classpath by parsing the classfile binary format directly rather than by using reflection. (Reflection causes the classloader to load each class, which can take an order of magnitude more time than parsing the classfile directly.)

- Constructor Detail
  - FastClasspathScanner
```
public FastClasspathScanner(String... scanSpec)
```
    Construct a FastClasspathScanner instance. You can pass a scanning specification to the constructor to describe what should be scanned -- see the docs for info: https://github.com/lukehutch/fast-classpath-scanner/wiki/2.-Constructor The scanSpec, if non-empty, prevents irrelevant classpath entries from being unecessarily scanned, which can be time-consuming. Note that calling the constructor does not start the scan, you must separately call .scan() to perform the actual scan.
    
    Parameters:
    
    scanSpec - The constructor accepts a list of whitelisted package prefixes / jar names to scan, as well as blacklisted packages/jars not to scan, where blacklisted entries are prefixed with the '-' character. See https://github.com/lukehutch/fast-classpath-scanner/wiki/2.-Constructor for info.
- Method Detail
  - getVersion
```
public static final String getVersion()
```
    Get the version number of FastClasspathScanner.
    
    Returns:
    
    the FastClasspathScanner version, or "unknown" if it could not be determined.
  - verbose
```
public FastClasspathScanner verbose(boolean verbose)
```
    Switches on verbose mode for debugging purposes if verbose == true. Call immediately after calling the constructor if you want full log output. Prints debug info to System.err.
    
    Parameters:
    
    verbose - Whether or not to give verbose output.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - verbose
```
public FastClasspathScanner verbose()
```
    Switches on verbose mode for debugging purposes. Call immediately after calling the constructor if you want full log output. Prints debug info to System.err.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - ignoreFieldVisibility
```
public FastClasspathScanner ignoreFieldVisibility(boolean ignoreFieldVisibility)
```
    If ignoreFieldVisibility is true, causes FastClasspathScanner to ignore field visibility, enabling it to see private, package-private and protected fields. This affects finding classes with fields of a given type, as well as matching static final fields with constant initializers. If false, fields must be public to be indexed/matched.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ignoreFieldVisibility - Whether or not to ignore the field visibility modifier.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - ignoreFieldVisibility
```
public FastClasspathScanner ignoreFieldVisibility()
```
    This method causes FastClasspathScanner to ignore field visibility, enabling it to see private, package-private and protected fields. This affects finding classes with fields of a given type, as well as matching static final fields with constant initializers. If false, fields must be public to be indexed/matched.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - ignoreMethodVisibility
```
public FastClasspathScanner ignoreMethodVisibility(boolean ignoreMethodVisibility)
```
    If ignoreMethodVisibility is true, causes FastClasspathScanner to ignore method visibility, enabling it to see private, package-private and protected methods. This affects finding classes that have methods with a given annotation. If false, methods must be public for the containing classes to be indexed/matched.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ignoreMethodVisibility - Whether or not to ignore the method visibility modifier.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - ignoreMethodVisibility
```
public FastClasspathScanner ignoreMethodVisibility()
```
    This method causes FastClasspathScanner to ignore method visibility, enabling it to see private, package-private and protected methods. This affects finding classes that have methods with a given annotation. If false, methods must be public for the containing classes to be indexed/matched.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - enableFieldTypeIndexing
```
public FastClasspathScanner enableFieldTypeIndexing(boolean enableFieldTypeIndexing)
```
    If enableFieldTypeIndexing is true, enables field type indexing, which allows you to call ScanResult#getClassesWithFieldsOfType(type). (If you add a field type match processor, this method is called for you.) Field type indexing is disabled by default, because it is expensive in terms of time (adding ~10% to the scan time) and memory, and it is not needed for most uses of FastClasspathScanner.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enableFieldTypeIndexing - Whether or not to enable field type indexing.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - enableFieldTypeIndexing
```
public FastClasspathScanner enableFieldTypeIndexing()
```
    Enables field type indexing, which allows you to call ScanResult#getClassesWithFieldsOfType(type). (If you add a field type match processor, this method is called for you.) Field type indexing is disabled by default, because it is expensive in terms of time (adding ~10% to the scan time) and memory, and it is not needed for most uses of FastClasspathScanner.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - enableMethodAnnotationIndexing
```
public FastClasspathScanner enableMethodAnnotationIndexing(boolean enableMethodAnnotationIndexing)
```
    If enableMethodAnnotationIndexing is true, enables method annotation indexing, which allows you to call ScanResult#getClassesWithMethodAnnotations(annotationType). (If you add a method annotation match processor, this method is called for you.) Method annotation indexing is disabled by default, because it is expensive in terms of time, and it is not needed for most uses of FastClasspathScanner.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enableMethodAnnotationIndexing - Whether or not to enable method annotation indexing.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - enableMethodAnnotationIndexing
```
public FastClasspathScanner enableMethodAnnotationIndexing()
```
    Enables method annotation indexing, which allows you to call ScanResult#getClassesWithMethodAnnotations(annotationType). (If you add a method annotation match processor, this method is called for you.) Method annotation indexing is disabled by default, because it is expensive in terms of time, and it is not needed for most uses of FastClasspathScanner.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - strictWhitelist
```
public FastClasspathScanner strictWhitelist(boolean strictWhitelist)
```
    If strictWhitelist is true, switches FastClasspathScanner to strict mode, which disallows searching/matching based on blacklisted classes, and removes "external" classes from result lists returned by ScanSpec#get...() methods. (External classes are classes outside of whitelisted packages that are directly referred to by classes within whitelisted packages as a superclass, implemented interface or annotation.) See the following for info on external classes, and strict mode vs. non-strict mode: https://github.com/lukehutch/fast-classpath-scanner/wiki/2.-Constructor#external-classes
    
    Parameters:
    
    strictWhitelist - Whether or not to switch to strict mode.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - strictWhitelist
```
public FastClasspathScanner strictWhitelist()
```
    Switches FastClasspathScanner to strict mode, which disallows searching/matching based on blacklisted classes, and removes "external" classes from result lists returned by ScanSpec#get...() methods. (External classes are classes outside of whitelisted packages that are directly referred to by classes within whitelisted packages as a superclass, implemented interface or annotation.) See the following for info on external classes, and strict mode vs. non-strict mode: https://github.com/lukehutch/fast-classpath-scanner/wiki/2.-Constructor#external-classes
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - initializeLoadedClasses
```
public FastClasspathScanner initializeLoadedClasses(boolean initializeLoadedClasses)
```
    If initializeLoadedClasses is true, classes loaded with Class.forName() are initialized before passing class references to MatchProcessors. If false (the default), matched classes are loaded but not initialized before passing class references to MatchProcessors (meaning classes are instead initialized lazily on first usage of the class).
    
    Parameters:
    
    initializeLoadedClasses - Whether or not to initialize classes before passing class references to MatchProcessors. (The default value is false.)
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - removeTemporaryFilesAfterScan
```
public FastClasspathScanner removeTemporaryFilesAfterScan(boolean removeTemporaryFilesAfterScan)
```
    If true (the default), nested jarfiles (jarfiles within jarfiles, which have to be extracted during scanning in order to be read) are removed from their temporary directory after the scan has completed. If false, temporary files are only removed on JVM exit. This method should be called if you need to access nested jarfiles (e.g. from a Spring classpath) after scanning has completed. In particular, if you use ClasspathUtils.getClasspathResourceURL() in a FileMatchProcessor and you need to use the returned URLs after scanning has completed, then you should call FastClasspathScanner#removeTemporaryFilesAfterScan(false) before calling scan().
    
    Parameters:
    
    removeTemporaryFilesAfterScan - Whether or not to remove temporary files after scanning. (The default value is true.)
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - disableRecursiveScanning
```
public FastClasspathScanner disableRecursiveScanning()
```
    Disable recursive scanning. Causes only toplevel entries within each whitelisted package to be scanned, i.e. sub-packages of whitelisted packages will not be scanned. If no whitelisted packages were provided to the constructor, then only the toplevel directory within each classpath element will be scanned.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - disableRecursiveScanning
```
public FastClasspathScanner disableRecursiveScanning(boolean disableRecursiveScanning)
```
    If true, disable recursive scanning. Causes only toplevel entries within each whitelisted package to be scanned, i.e. sub-packages of whitelisted packages will not be scanned. If no whitelisted packages were provided to the constructor, then only the toplevel directory within each classpath element will be scanned. If false (the default), whitelisted paths and their subdirectories will be scanned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    disableRecursiveScanning - Whether or not to disable recursive scanning. (The default value is false.)
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for method chaining).
  - registerClassLoaderHandler
```
public FastClasspathScanner registerClassLoaderHandler(Class<? extends ClassLoaderHandler> classLoaderHandlerClass)
```

```
    Override the automatically-detected classpath with a custom path, with path elements separated by File.pathSeparatorChar. Causes system ClassLoaders and the java.class.path system property to be ignored. If this method is called, nothing but the provided classpath will be scanned, i.e. this causes ClassLoaders to be ignored, as well as the java.class.path system property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    overrideClasspath - The custom classpath to use for scanning, with path elements separated by File.pathSeparatorChar.

  - matchStaticFinalFieldNames
```
public FastClasspathScanner matchStaticFinalFieldNames(Set<String> fullyQualifiedStaticFinalFieldNames,

```
    Calls the given StaticFinalFieldMatchProcessor if classes are found on the classpath that contain static final fields that match one of a set of fully-qualified field names, e.g. "com.package.ClassName.STATIC_FIELD_NAME". Field values are obtained from the constant pool in classfiles, not from a loaded class using reflection. This allows you to detect changes to the classpath and then run another scan that picks up the new values of selected static constants without reloading the class. (Class reloading is fraught with issues, see: http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-reflection/dynamic-class-loading-reloading.html ) Note: Only static final fields with constant-valued literals are matched, not fields with initializer values that are the result of an expression or reference, except for cases where the compiler is able to simplify an expression into a single constant at compiletime, such as in the case of string concatenation. Note that the visibility of the fields is not checked if ignoreFieldVisibility() was called before scan().
    
    Parameters:
    
    fullyQualifiedStaticFinalFieldNames - The set of fully-qualified static field names to match.
    
    staticFinalFieldMatchProcessor - the StaticFinalFieldMatchProcessor to call when a match is found.

```
    Calls the given StaticFinalFieldMatchProcessor if classes are found on the classpath that contain static final fields that match a fully-qualified field name, e.g. "com.package.ClassName.STATIC_FIELD_NAME".

  - scanAsync
```
public Future<ScanResult> scanAsync(ExecutorService executorService,
                                    int numParallelTasks)
```
    Asynchronously scans the classpath for matching files, and calls any MatchProcessors if a match is identified. Returns a Future object immediately after starting the scan. To block on scan completion, get the result of the returned Future. Uses the provided ExecutorService, and divides the work according to the requested degree of parallelism. This method should be called after all required MatchProcessors have been added. Note on thread safety: MatchProcessors are all run on a separate thread from the thread that calls this method (although the MatchProcessors are all run on one thread). You will need to add your own synchronization logic if MatchProcessors interact with the main thread. See the following for more info: https://github.com/lukehutch/fast-classpath-scanner/wiki/1.-Usage#multithreading-issues
    
    Parameters:
    
    executorService - A custom ExecutorService to use for scheduling worker tasks.
    
    numParallelTasks - The number of parallel tasks to break the work into during the most CPU-intensive stage of classpath scanning. Ideally the ExecutorService will have at least this many threads available.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Future object, that when resolved using get() yields a new ScanResult object. This ScanResult object contains info about the class graph within whitelisted packages encountered during the scan. Calling get() on this Future object throws InterruptedException if the scanning is interrupted before it completes, or throws ExecutionException if something goes wrong during scanning. If ExecutionException is thrown, and the cause is a MatchProcessorException, then either classloading failed for some class, or a MatchProcessor threw an exception.
  - scan
```
public ScanResult scan(ExecutorService executorService,
                       int numParallelTasks)
```
    Scans the classpath for matching files, and calls any MatchProcessors if a match is identified. Uses the provided ExecutorService, and divides the work according to the requested degree of parallelism. Blocks and waits for the scan to complete before returning a ScanResult. This method should be called after all required MatchProcessors have been added.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executorService - A custom ExecutorService to use for scheduling worker tasks. This ExecutorService should start tasks in FIFO order to avoid a deadlock during scan, i.e. be sure to construct the ExecutorService with a LinkedBlockingQueue as its task queue. (This is the default for Executors.newFixedThreadPool().)
    
    numParallelTasks - The number of parallel tasks to break the work into during the most CPU-intensive stage of classpath scanning. Ideally the ExecutorService will have at least this many threads available.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new ScanResult object, containing info about the class graph within whitelisted packages encountered during the scan.
    
    Throws:
    
    MatchProcessorException - if classloading fails for any of the classes matched by a MatchProcessor, or if a MatchProcessor throws an exception.
    
    ScanInterruptedException - if any of the worker threads are interrupted during the scan. If you care about thread interruption, you should catch this exception. If you don't plan to interrupt the scan, you probably don't need to catch this.
    
    RuntimeException - if any of the worker threads throws an uncaught exception. (Should not happen, this would indicate a bug in FastClasspathScanner.)
  - scan
```
public ScanResult scan(int numThreads)
```
    Scans the classpath for matching files, and calls any MatchProcessors if a match is identified. Temporarily starts up a new fixed thread pool for scanning, with the requested number of threads. Blocks and waits for the scan to complete before returning a ScanResult. This method should be called after all required MatchProcessors have been added.
    
    Parameters:
    
    numThreads - The number of worker threads to start up.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new ScanResult object, containing info about the class graph within whitelisted packages encountered during the scan.
    
    Throws:
    
    MatchProcessorException - if classloading fails for any of the classes matched by a MatchProcessor, or if a MatchProcessor throws an exception.
    
    ScanInterruptedException - if any of the worker threads are interrupted during the scan (shouldn't happen under normal circumstances).
    
    RuntimeException - if any of the worker threads throws an uncaught exception. (Should not happen, this would indicate a bug in FastClasspathScanner.)
  - scan
```
public ScanResult scan()
```
    Scans the classpath for matching files, and calls any MatchProcessors if a match is identified. Temporarily starts up a new fixed thread pool for scanning, with the default number of threads. Blocks and waits for the scan to complete before returning a ScanResult. This method should be called after all required MatchProcessors have been added.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new ScanResult object, containing info about the class graph within whitelisted packages encountered during the scan.
    
    Throws:
    
    MatchProcessorException - if classloading fails for any of the classes matched by a MatchProcessor, or if a MatchProcessor throws an exception.
    
    ScanInterruptedException - if any of the worker threads are interrupted during the scan (shouldn't happen under normal circumstances).
    
    RuntimeException - if any of the worker threads throws an uncaught exception. (Should not happen, this would indicate a bug in FastClasspathScanner.)
  - getUniqueClasspathElementsAsync
```
public Future<List<File>> getUniqueClasspathElementsAsync(ExecutorService executorService,
                                                          int numParallelTasks)
```
    Asynchronously returns the list of all unique File objects representing directories or zip/jarfiles on the classpath, in classloader resolution order. Classpath elements that do not exist are not included in the list. See the following for info on thread safety: https://github.com/lukehutch/fast-classpath-scanner/wiki/1.-Usage#multithreading-issues Note that if there are nested jarfiles on the classpath, e.g. file:///path/to/jar1.jar!/path/to/jar2.jar , then both FastClasspathScanner#scanAsync() and FastClasspathScanner#getUniqueClasspathElementsAsync() will cause jar2.jar to be extracted to a temporary file, however FastClasspathScanner#getUniqueClasspathElementsAsync() will not remove this temporary file after the scan (so that the file is still accessible to the caller -- each of the File objects in the returned list of classpath elements should exist). These extracted temporary files are marked for deletion on JVM exit, however.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executorService - A custom ExecutorService to use for scheduling worker tasks.
    
    numParallelTasks - The number of parallel tasks to break the work into during the most CPU-intensive stage of classpath scanning. Ideally the ExecutorService will have at least this many threads available.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Future>, that when resolved with get() returns a list of the unique directories and jarfiles on the classpath, in classpath resolution order. You can call cancel(true) on this Future if you want to interrupt the process (although the result is typically returned quickly).
  - getUniqueClasspathElements
```
public List<File> getUniqueClasspathElements(ExecutorService executorService,
                                             int numParallelTasks)
```
    Returns the list of all unique File objects representing directories or zip/jarfiles on the classpath, in classloader resolution order. Classpath elements that do not exist are not included in the list. Blocks until the result can be returned, when all classpath elements have been found and tested to see if they exist in the filesystem. Note that if there are nested jarfiles on the classpath, e.g. file:///path/to/jar1.jar!/path/to/jar2.jar , then both FastClasspathScanner#scan() and FastClasspathScanner#getUniqueClasspathElements() will cause jar2.jar to be extracted to a temporary file, however FastClasspathScanner#getUniqueClasspathElements() will not remove this temporary file after the scan (so that the file is still accessible to the caller -- each of the File objects in the returned list of classpath elements should exist). These extracted temporary files are marked for deletion on JVM exit, however.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executorService - A custom ExecutorService to use for scheduling worker tasks.
    
    numParallelTasks - The number of parallel tasks to break the work into during the most CPU-intensive stage of classpath scanning. Ideally the ExecutorService will have at least this many threads available.
    
    Returns:
    
    a List consisting of the unique directories and jarfiles on the classpath, in classpath resolution order.
    
    Throws:
    
    ScanInterruptedException - if any of the worker threads are interrupted during the scan. If you care about thread interruption, you should catch this exception. If you don't plan to interrupt the scan, you probably don't need to catch this.
  - getUniqueClasspathElements
```
public List<File> getUniqueClasspathElements()
```
    Returns the list of all unique File objects representing directories or zip/jarfiles on the classpath, in classloader resolution order. Classpath elements that do not exist are not included in the list. Blocks until the result can be returned, when all classpath elements have been found and tested to see if they exist in the filesystem. Note that if there are nested jarfiles on the classpath, e.g. file:///path/to/jar1.jar!/path/to/jar2.jar , then both FastClasspathScanner#scan() and FastClasspathScanner#getUniqueClasspathElements() will cause jar2.jar to be extracted to a temporary file, however FastClasspathScanner#getUniqueClasspathElements() will not remove this temporary file after the scan (so that the file is still accessible to the caller -- each of the File objects in the returned list of classpath elements should exist). These extracted temporary files are marked for deletion on JVM exit, however.
    
    Returns:
    
    a List consisting of the unique directories and jarfiles on the classpath, in classpath resolution order.
    
    Throws:
    
    ScanInterruptedException - if any of the worker threads are interrupted during the scan (shouldn't happen under normal circumstances).
