reflection and instantiation in java
If you provide more detail, I can probably give you a better answer. You should also checkout ClassGraph. It has tons of functions that can make usage of Reflection a whole lot easier.

Custom Annotation Scanning with Spring Boot
There are libraries like classgraph that can be used in java applications that do not use spring framework. If your application do not use spring framework or spring boot, you can refer to the classgraph library documentation and proceed.

Get list of objects/classes/interfaces under a package
I'm building an app with Jetpack Compose in Kotlin, and I would like to get a list of material icons from the package androidx.compose.material.icons. I think scanning the package and get the list of objects would be good enough, so I have tried using classgraph and reflections but both of them return an empty list even when I scanned with no filters i.e just input the package name (I followed their sample code). I hope someone who has done this before can show me the correct approach to this issue, thanks a lot

How well did Jakarta EE 11 respond to the needs of developers?
In the spirit of transparency that I was fortunate enough to start over two decades ago, this blog post examines how well the Jakarta Platform project did during EE 11 in meeting one of the goals set for the Platform project by the Steering Committee: incorporate developer feedback.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ClassGraph and platform you can also consider the following projects:
Reflections - Java runtime metadata analysis
shedlock - Distributed lock for your scheduled tasks
jOOR - jOOR - Fluent Reflection in Java jOOR is a very simple fluent API that gives access to your Java Class structures in a more intuitive way. The JDK's reflection APIs are hard and verbose to use. Other languages have much simpler constructs to access type meta information at runtime. Let us make Java reflection better.
Seata - :fire: Seata is an easy-to-use, high-performance, open source distributed transaction solution.
ReflectASM - High performance Java reflection
unirest-java - Unirest in Java: Simplified, lightweight HTTP client library.
