Sorry, I'm back!
Is it possible to get all instances of a given class during runtime (probably using reflection, preferably without any extra dependency).
Thanks again!

How many instances are you expecting?
Since if you're using expecting one instance, just use a singleton. Otherwise things might get trickier

I'd suggest looking at this library (though it is an external dependency): https://github.com/ronmamo/reflections
I've personally used it for reflecting and it is pretty easy and efficient to use

I don't think that contains what I need. And I actually already use it!

Oh nice! What are you trying to do by reflecting all the class instances?
May give some more insight as to how we can help

If it's a class that you yourself have made, I would recommend avoiding reflection and instead implementing a registry to record the instances you're creating. Create a static factory method to return all of the instances you're creating, and at the same time, store weak references to those instances in a cache.
From a quick google, it doesn't seem like there's a well known way to get all active instances of an arbitrary class during normal runtime.

It wouldn't be thread safe anyways, so custom implementation is really the only way.

There is a JVM workaround (as in, you get the JVM instance, attach a method to it, and use said method to query it). However, there is no way to get the current host and port, which are required to attach to the JVM.
Anyway, thanks for trying. Gonna have to find another way :/
