Finding class by annotation - Java

Question

I want to know if is possible to find class by annotation. Example:

@MyAnnotation(string = "some string")
class Annotated class { some methods...}

so can I find this class in my package where I have many other classes with another annotations...

Just wonder if it's possible

Thanks

I believe that he means at runtime. There is no tag regarding IDEs — hanzo2001, Aug 25 '21 at 11:08

If you're using Eclipse you can right-click the annotation, go to References, then pick the scope you want to search.
