Java verbose class loading

classloader, java, jvm

Solution

I guess your best bet is to do the following:

- Output some fixed text once your `main` method starts and right before it ends.

- Pipe the verbose output into a file

- Use things like less or grep to find the classes loaded between the two tags from the main method.

There's a similar question and some answers here: Is there a way to get which classes a ClassLoader has loaded?

Did you try `-verbose:class`?

Problem

I am trying to list the order in which the Java class loader is loading my classes. if I use `-verbose` parameter it will list every single interface/class it loads, including tons of interfaces such as Serializable, exceptions etc. Is there a way to tweak this output so it only shows which classes are loaded in the class my main method is defined?
