retrieve all interfaces in jar static possible

Hi,

I am curious to know if it is possible to extract all interfaces (
including methods and fields) from my jar. I know of refelection but
AFAIK the class has to be loaded in the jvm to use reflection on it.
True? Is there a static possiblity?

If no static possibility then will all my classes in jar be loaded when
I start my jvm ( java -jar myapp.jar). Is it possible to 'extract' all
classes ( to be put in a list) and run refelction on them?

Cheers,

//Mikael

And then if you want to extract the data from those entries in the Zip
file without actually loading them into your VM you might want to look
at BCEL: http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel/
