Get all classes of a package

Question

How can I get a list of all classes in a given package?
I tried this:

import scala.reflect.runtime.{currentMirror => cm}  
val classes = cm.staticPackage("scala.collection.mutable").typeSignature.declarations

But it seems to give me an empty list.

Answer 1

At the moment, this is not possible, because the runtime reflection part of the Scala reflection API is based on classloaders, and they don't provide the functionality of enumerating contents of packages.
