This isn't really possible at run time, since one doesn't know whether a
class exists until one tries to load it. The classloader might not even
know. Also, a package can span classloaders, adding more complexity to
the problem.
IIRC, you will get a different Package for each class loader, for a
given package name. Certainly classes with the same package name will
not have Java access to default/protected
members/classes/interface/constructors from different class loaders.
But yes, a list of classes is not necessarily complete. Also, IIRC,
Proxy dynamically inserts classes into packages as well.
