Package org.revapi

Class ServiceTypeLoader<T>

java.lang.Object

org.revapi.ServiceTypeLoader<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<Class<? extends T>>

public final class ServiceTypeLoader<T>
extends Object
implements Iterable<Class<? extends T>>

Because Revapi manages the lifecycle of instances of its extensions, it cannot unfortunately use the ServiceLoader directly (before Java 9 which enhances it to support the use case Revapi needs).

This class is similar to ServiceLoader but instead of providing instances of the service implementations, it provides types of the service implementations. Users of this class are then responsible for using these types anyway they want (instantiate them or whatever).

Since:

0.8.0
