Java Reflections 'NoClassDef' error

Question

I'm trying to browse all classes that have implemented an interface using the custom libary Reflections. Here is my source :

public static List<IModdable> getAllModClasses() {
    Reflections reflections = new Reflections("mod.api.core"); //getting error here
    Set<Class<? extends IModdable>> classes = reflections.getSubTypesOf(IModdable.class);
    List<IModdable> modList = new ArrayList<IModdable>();
    for (Class<? extends IModdable> c : classes)
        try {
            modList.add((IModdable) c.newInstance());
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            err(String.format("Could not load mod %s !", c.getName()));
        }


    return modList;
}

error:

The mod.api.core package exits. So that shouldn't be the error.

Answer 1

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javassist/bytecode/ClassFile

You can fix the issue by adding javassist-3.12.1.GA.jar to your classpath
