    Default java commands

    Hi Everyone,

    Is there any command to find all the classes inside a package? If so let me know...
    eg: To find all the properties and methods inside a class String we use "javap java.lang.String"

    Thanks and Regards,
    Sunil

    Well to import all the classes of a library you would use,
    for example:

    import.java.util.*;

    Once you have the import, you can view all the methods by just
    choosing one with the '.' operator after the util class.

    Initially I would like to thanks for your answer. As you said, if i import any package in IDE it will show me suggestions as soon as i use '.' operator. But my problem is if I am using a text editor to write a program and want to compile and run it in a command prompt then how can I know the classes which comes under "util" package. Is there any command like "javap"?

    One way would be to open the src.zip file that comes with the JDK and look in the folder for the package you are interested in.

    Do you have access to the API? For example, the java.util api: java.util (Java Platform SE 7 )
