Represents metadata about a run-time package associated with a class loader. Metadata includes annotations, versioning, and sealing.

Annotations for the run-time package are read from package-info.class at the same code source as classes in the run-time package.

The set of classes that make up the run-time package may implement a particular specification. The specification title, version, and vendor (indicating the owner/maintainer of the specification) can be provided when the Package is defined. An application can ask if the Package is compatible with a particular specification version by using the Package.isCompatibleWith(String) method. In addition, information about the actual classes that make up the run-time package can be provided when the Package is defined. This information consists of an implementation title, version, and vendor (indicating the supplier of the classes).

A Package may be explicitly defined with the ClassLoader.definePackage(String, String, String, String, String, String, String, URL) method. The caller supplies the specification and implementation titles, versions, and vendors. The caller also indicates whether the package is sealed. If a Package is not explicitly defined for a run-time package when a class in that run-time package is defined, then a Package is automatically defined by the class's defining class loader, as follows.

A Package automatically defined for classes in a named module has the following properties:

  • The name of the package is derived from the binary names of the classes. Since classes in a named module must be in a named package, the derived name is never empty.
  • The package is sealed with the module location as the code source, if known.
  • The specification and implementation titles, versions, and vendors are unspecified.
  • Any annotations on the package are read from package-info.class as specified above.

A Package automatically defined for classes in an unnamed module has the following properties:

  • The name of the package is either "" (for classes in an unnamed package) or derived from the binary names of the classes (for classes in a named package).
  • The package is not sealed.
  • The specification and implementation titles, versions, and vendors are unspecified.
  • Any annotations on the package are read from package-info.class as specified above.

A Package can be obtained with the Package.getPackage(String) and ClassLoader.getDefinedPackage(String) methods. Every Package defined by a class loader can be obtained with the Package.getPackages() and ClassLoader.getDefinedPackages methods.

See Also:
Implementation Note: The builtin class loaders do not explicitly define Package objects for packages in named modules. Instead those packages are automatically defined and have no specification and implementation versioning information.

Returns the version number of the specification that this package implements. This version string must be a sequence of non-negative decimal integers separated by "."'s and may have leading zeros. When version strings are compared the most significant numbers are compared.

Specification version numbers use a syntax that consists of non-negative decimal integers separated by periods ".", for example "2.0" or "1.2.3.4.5.6.7". This allows an extensible number to be used to represent major, minor, micro, etc. versions. The version specification is described by the following formal grammar:

SpecificationVersion:
Digits RefinedVersionopt
RefinedVersion:
. Digits
. Digits RefinedVersion
Digits:
Digit
Digits
Digit:
any character for which Character.isDigit returns true, e.g. 0, 1, 2, ...

Compare this package's specification version with a desired version. It returns true if this packages specification version number is greater than or equal to the desired version number.

Version numbers are compared by sequentially comparing corresponding components of the desired and specification strings. Each component is converted as a decimal integer and the values compared. If the specification value is greater than the desired value true is returned. If the value is less false is returned. If the values are equal the period is skipped and the next pair of components is compared.

Params:
  • desired – the version string of the desired version.
Throws:
  • NumberFormatException – if the current version is not known or the desired or current version is not of the correct dotted form.
Returns:true if this package's version number is greater than or equal to the desired version number

Finds a package by name in the caller's class loader and its ancestors.

If the caller's class loader defines a Package of the given name, the Package is returned. Otherwise, the ancestors of the caller's class loader are searched recursively (parent by parent) for a Package of the given name.

Calling this method is equivalent to calling ClassLoader.getPackage on a ClassLoader instance which is the caller's class loader.

Params:
  • name – A package name, such as "java.lang".
Throws:
See Also:
Returns:The Package of the given name defined by the caller's class loader or its ancestors, or null if not found.
Deprecated: If multiple class loaders delegate to each other and define classes with the same package name, and one such loader relies on the lookup behavior of getPackage to return a Package from a parent loader, then the properties exposed by the Package may not be as expected in the rest of the program. For example, the Package will only expose annotations from the package-info.class file defined by the parent loader, even if annotations exist in a package-info.class file defined by a child loader. A more robust approach is to use the ClassLoader.getDefinedPackage method which returns a Package for the specified class loader.
