Java annotations not being found in JAR file using org.reflections -

i'm using org.reflections library detect classes annotated in project. when run project eclipse, annotated classes found.

however, when project packaged jar file , run, no annotated classes found.

here example code:

@testannotation public class app {     public static void main (string[] args) {          reflections reflections = new reflections("com.package");          set<class<?>> annotated = reflections.gettypesannotatedwith(testannotation.class);           (class c : annotated) {              system.out.println ("found annotated class " + c.getname());          }      } } 

when run code in jar file there no output. doing wrong?

thanks

pay attention

reflections reflections = new reflections("com.package"); 

there try explore annotated classes located in package package nested in com package. package java keyword. can not used name of package. after moved app , testannotation com package works fine.

but possible case bad. may tool or person created package has package name (for example, used cyrillic а instead of latin a, both looking same in editor, totally different java). when letters mixed looks fine doesn't work. try create new valid root package , move classes it.
