Reflections
Java runtime metadata analysis (by ronmamo)
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. (by jOOQ)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is it possible to obtain all the built-in classes via reflection?
You could use the Reflections library(https://github.com/ronmamo/reflections) to do that within a specific package to do what you want(example taken from the Github repository)

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

What are some alternatives?
When comparing Reflections and jOOR you can also consider the following projects:
ClassGraph - An uber-fast parallelized Java classpath scanner and module scanner.
ReflectASM - High performance Java reflection
Objenesis - Okay, it's pretty easy to instantiate objects in Java through standard reflection. However there are many cases where you need to go beyond what reflection provides. For example, if there's no public constructor, you want to bypass the constructor code, or set final fields. There are numerous clever (but fiddly) approaches to getting around this and this library provides a simple way to get at them. You will find the official site here.
