Finding the list of classes in a package like Package Explorer [message #333353]

Hi,

Like the name implies, the Package Explorer view is able to explore and
extract a list of classes in java packages. If I am not wrong, java
reflection doesn't do anything about packages. How is this class list
extraction performed in eclipse and where can the source code be located?

The Package Explorer gets that information from the Java Model. See
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore for details. You can then get the children
for any element (e.g. for a package).
