gradle reflections

Reflections is a Java library that allows you to analyze and manipulate the classpath and runtime metadata of your application. It can be used to discover annotations, class hierarchies, and other metadata at runtime.

To use Reflections in a Gradle project, you will need to add the library to your dependencies. You can do this by adding the following dependency to your build file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.reflections:reflections:0.9.12'
}

Once you have added the dependency, you can use the Reflections API in your code to discover metadata about your classes and objects. For example, you can use the Reflections class to scan a package and find all the classes with a given annotation:

import org.reflections.Reflections;

Reflections reflections = new Reflections("com.example.mypackage");
Set<Class<?>> annotatedClasses = reflections.getTypesAnnotatedWith(MyAnnotation.class);

You can also use the ConfigurationBuilder class to customize the scan and filter the results based on various criteria.

For more information about using Reflections in your Java applications, you can refer to the Reflections documentation.
