Is there any way in Java to access information about a type at runtime without fully loading the class?
<p>I'm trying to get a reference to a java.lang.Class which is on my classpath and look at the members on it with reflection.  The trouble is, I'm trying to do this with only an incomplete classpath.  By this I mean that the classpath contains all the classes I am interested in, but does not necessarily contain further classes which these classes might depend on.  Therefore it is not possible to fully load the class in the normal way.</p>

<p>Is this possible?</p>
