Scan classpath to get classes matching specific attributes (type, package, etc).

SpringClasspathScanner.java

    ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider provider = new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(false);
    // Filter to include only classes that have a particular annotation.
    provider.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(MyAnnotation.class));
    // Find classes in the given package (or subpackages)
    Set<BeanDefinition> beans = provider.findCandidateComponents("com.xyz.abc");
    for (BeanDefinition bd : beans) {
        // The BeanDefinition class gives access to the Class<?> and other attributes.
    }
